Wide Sargasso Sea

Maybe it's because I never read Jane Eyre or maybe it's because I'm young and lose interest quick or maybe I don't have amazing reading comprehension but this story was so impossible to follow. I had to read spark notes alongside the book to understand what was happening. I only understood what they were saying and doing when it was spelled out for me. So many things happened so quickly and I wasn't familiar with anything that was referenced. The writing style, language, and characterization were all wonderful! I enjoyed it solely for these reasons.
