WIDE SARGASSO SEA. Annalisa, I recommend WIDE SARGASSO SEA, which was one of the books that your mother and I read aloud to each other. As with all of the books by Jean Rhys, be careful not to read about the book before you read the book.

Thanks for the caution about not reading about the book before reading it! As soon as I saw your recommendation I was poised to open a new tab and head to Amazon.com to read about it. Now I won’t. Do we have a copy I can read when I’m home next?
We have the books by Jean Rhys.
Apparently there is a version of Jane Eyre edited by a Mark Mason who used to teach at UCL, and he explicitly warns the reader in his notes not to read them until you have read the book as he spoils elements of the plot.
A non-spoiler that he hammers is that the “mad woman in the attic” isn’t even in an attic – it’s simply the third floor of her house.
