Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
** 2 stars
Review
I am trying to read a classic each month, as I feel I should rather than really wanting to.
I really tried with this one, I did finish it, but really struggled with it.
This is set in Jamaica in the 1830's and it says it was inspired by Jane Eyre which I really do not see any comparison at all.
A young woman Antoinette is forced into marriage and is then driven to madness. Or was this in her genes and she was always going to become insane, just like her mother before her.
The writing was alright, but unfortunately for me I just found it lacking in depth and characters.
Not one to recommend I am afraid.
