Helpful Score: 1
I can't begin to explain how profoundly this book affected me when I read it. It has haunting scenes and lush beautiful language. I started reading this book shortly after finishing Jane Eyre and comparing the treatment of the character in the two books provided a space to ask some hard questions about race, status and ignored histories. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in colonialism, racial identity and prose that sticks with you. At times I found Wide Sargasso Sea to be incredibly disturbing but I could not put it down.
