About the book

Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea reimagines the story of the woman later known as Bertha Mason in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. Set largely in the Caribbean, the novel follows Antoinette Cosway from childhood through her troubled marriage to an Englishman. Rhys explores identity, colonialism, race, gender and psychological isolation, giving voice and complexity to a character who appears only indirectly in Brontë's novel.
