Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisJean Rhys's reputation was made upon the publication of this passionate and heartbreaking novel, in which she brings into the light one of fiction's most mysterious characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. Set in the Caribbean, its heroine is Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Rochester. In this best-selling novel, Rhys portrays a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind., Jean Rhys's reputation was made upon the publication of this passionate and heartbreaking novel, in which she brings into the light one of fiction's most mysterious characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre.

  • You can smell the ocean when you read this story.

    Hauntingly beautiful saga, written so eloquently. Without over-dramatizing the heartbreak of so many lives affected by slavery and its demise, Rhys opens the reader's eyes to the fragility of life for white people during this time and in this place.
