Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
4.0

Haunting story for a woman who was given no voice but one of a mad woman in Jane Eyre. A quick read, though the writing structure is a bit difficult to get into, I could feel and see myself in Antoinette's world. I also have a burning hatred for Rochester now. F*ck him. I think Rhys hit the nail on the head with pointing out and diving deep into how terrible of a man he was to his first wife. Jane Eyre attempts for you to feel a level of sympathy for him, which I did have, but now after reading this - no way.
