A review by laval
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

3.5

the og fan fiction ‼️

i got complicated feelings on this one. i am feeling a good 7/10. insanely important concepts covered here. i love the idea that bertha is a genuine character and not just an inconvenience to jane and rochester. do i wish some things were different about this book. honestly yeah, but do i think that those nitpicks need to be voiced and overshadow the important messages that are given a voice here. no. everyone should read this especially after jane eyre. we need to remember that these romanticized times were built on slavery, corruption, and exploitation. 

i would recommend this book to taylor swift to remind her that she would not like the 1830s very much 🥰
