Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This "tour de force" (<em>New York Times Book Review</em>) celebrates its 50th anniversary.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Wide Sargasso Sea</em>, a masterpiece of modern fiction, was Jean Rhys's return to the literary center stage. She had a startling early career and was known for her extraordinary prose and haunting women characters. With <em>Wide Sargasso Sea</em>, her last and best-selling novel, she ingeniously brings into light one of fiction's most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Bront 's <em>Jane Eyre</em>. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.</p><p>A new introduction by the award-winning Edwidge Danticat, author most recently of <em>Claire of the Sea Light</em>, expresses the enduring importance of this work. Drawing on her own Caribbean background, she illuminates the setting's impact on Rhys and her astonishing work.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A considerable tour de force by any standard... A triumph of atmosphere.-- "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>The distillation of [Rhys's] life and craft... Nowhere is her prose more supple, more assured.--Sara Paretsky ""You Must Read This," NPR"<br><br>Working a stylistic range from moody introspection to formal elegance, Miss Rhys has us traveling under Antoinette's skin. It is an eerie and memorable trip.-- "The Nation"<br>
