There is no looking glass here and I don't know what I am like now...Now they have taken everything away. What am I doing in this place and who am I?'. If Antoinette Cosway, a spirited Creole heiress, could have foreseen the terrible future that awaited her, she would not have married the young Englishman. Initially drawn to her beauty and sensuality, he becomes increasingly frustrated by his inability to reach into her soul. He forces Antoinette to conform to his rigid Victorian ideals, unaware that in taking away her identity he is destroying a part of himself as well as pushing her towards madness. Set against the lush backdrop of 1830s Jamaica, Jean Rhys' powerful, haunting masterpiece was inspired by her fascination with the first Mrs Rochester, the mad wife in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.

another view of Jean Eyre, an outstanding post-colonial work
评分我看過最沮喪的書之一。
评分竟觉得超越简爱
评分一直都记得安托瓦涅特的那条红色的裙子，像木棉花一样盛开。在我看来，她是那个在后殖民时代里夹缝生存的可怜女孩，不是Bertha，不是阁楼上的疯女人，更不是同伴口中的白皮黑鬼。
