` There is no looking glass here & I don`t know what I am like now... Now they have taken everything away. What am I doing in this place & who am I?` If Antoinette Cosway, a spirited Creole heiress, could have foreseen the terrible future that awaited her, she would not have married the young Englishman. Initially drawn to her beauty & sensuality, he becomes increasingly frustrated by his inability to reach into her soul. He forces Antoinette to conform to his rigid Victorian ideals, unaware that in taking away her identity he is destroying a part of himself as well as pushing her towards madness. Set against the lush backdrop of 1830s Jamaica, Jean Rhys`s powerful, haunting masterpiece was inspired by her fascination with the first Mrs Rochester, the mad wife in Charlotte Brontë`s Jane Eyre. ...

Her grand attempt to tell what she felt was the story of ” Jane Eyre`s” `madwoman in the attic`, Bertha Rochester, Jean Rhys` ” Wide Sargasso Sea” is edited with an introduction & notes by Angela Smith in ” Penguin Classics”. Born into the oppressive, colonialist society of 1930s Jamaica, white Creole heiress Antoinette Cosway meets a young Englishman who is drawn to her innocent beauty & sensuality. After their marriage, however, disturbing rumours begin to circulate which poison her husband against her. Caught between his demands & her own precarious sense of belonging, Antoinette is inexorably driven towards madness, & her husband into the arms of another novel`s heroine. This classic study of betrayal, a seminal work of postcolonial literature, is Jean Rhys` brief, beautiful masterpiece. Jean Rhys (1894-1979) was born in Dominica. Coming to England aged 16, she drifted into various jobs before moving to Paris, where she began writing & was `discovered` by Ford Madox Ford. Her novels, often portraying women as underdogs out to exploit their sexualities, were ahead of their time & only modestly successful. From 1939 (when ” Good Morning, Midnight” was written) onwards she lived reclusively, & was largely forgotten when she made a sensational comeback with her account of Jane Eyre`s Bertha Rochester, ” Wide Sargasso Sea”, in 1966. If you enjoyed ” Wide Sargasso Sea”, you might like Charlotte Bronte`s ” Jane Eyre”, also available in ” Penguin Classics”. ” She took one of the works of genius of the nineteenth century & turned it inside-out to create one of the works of genius of the twentieth century”. (Michele Roberts, ” The Times”). ...
