A review by curveofthevalley
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Rhys took the most interesting part of the most boring and made it truly mean something beyond a plot device. Antionette's journeyto becoming Bertha (if you could ever say that she did) brings so much dimension to the 'hyena' Jane describes. It makes her human again.
