Wide Sargasso Sea Paperback – 22 October 2016

Good

Although I was reluctant ordering the piece as few said the packaging is bad , the pages are torn. Well for a reader torn pages are nightmare , but made the order as Amazon has been an anwesome place and I trust their services. The novel is a work which surely Jane should have read , being a voracious reader. Knowing the story of Bertha , she would never have hallucinated Mr.Rochestor's voice . A novel much needed to make sure you understand the true situations. A gem. 💮 Thank you Amazon and Jean Rhyss.

Apart from the amazing quality and condition of the book, the content was also amazing. It gives a very different and realistic perspective to an otherwise universally romanticised story. It gives you the idea of how it feels to be on the other side.

My all time favourite. Deconstructs the character of Bertha Mason which Charlotte Bronte presents as an antithesis to her English heroine- Jane Eyre. This book will lead you into the character of Bertha Mason, which is not even her real name and is only an European name given by her husband, Mr Rochester. All in all it’s a good book and one needs to read it if you feel that the mad woman in the attic in Jane Eyre wasn’t given justice.

The penguin essentials edition is such a beautiful one

I'm a English literature student and i bought this for my studies about colonialism and loved the book the printing and paper is good..

The book was delivered in good condition. That was crucial as it is prescribed for college. Thanks!

The font is not black enough so it feels a bit pirated but I can be totally wrong at this. It is an old publication so that may be the reason why the letters aren't black clear black.I haven't started reading. Will give a review after I have finished reading it.
