Wide Sargasso Sea - Jean Rhys

This prequel to Jane Eyre is regarded as a bit of a classic, but I'm afraid I was merely impressed rather than blown away. The character of the first Mrs Rochester is well-imagined and the sense of place is expertly established, but the ending (which overlaps with JE) seems a little rushed. Perhaps - and I never say this about books - it was too short?

p.s. If you're reading this, perhaps you'll enjoy a similar blog from the lovely Kate.
