Wide Sargasso Sea

The wild woman in the attic is given her story. The prose is lyrical, the narrative weaves in and out, unexpected swaps of POV. All characters are mysterious and problematic. You don't quite know who to root for, which is interesting. I liked her voice when she tells us about her upbringing, I liked how the couple is brought together, finds this one moment of sensuality in the mix of all the chaos. The second half lost me a bit, made it hard to follow the character reasoning as madness takes over.
