A review by capy
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

2.5

Wait, and perhaps you can love her again. A little, like she say. A little. Like you can love.

love the core idea of this book, to give a prequel to a character we read little of in a classic — especially considering i don't like charlotte bronte and having "bertha" as a plot device always felt icky coming from an 1800s white woman
i understand it was intentional to make the reading experience somewhat trippy, messy and dream-like, and while i didn't particularly LOVE reading this, i still enjoyed it more than zzz jane eyre
also mr. rochester can lick my b*lls

There are always two deaths, the real one and the one people know about.
