Wide Sargasso Sea audiobook - Kostenloses Hörbuch

Complete and Unabridged on Compact Disc. Read by Anna Bentinck.

In her brilliant novel, Jean Rhys rescues the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and brings her to life as the beautiful Antoinette Cosway.

In 1830s Jamaica, Antoinette Cosway was born into an oppressive, colonialist environment; a lush and ravaged Eden, ripped apart by escalating tensions, where Antoinette’s Creole heritage distances her from both the island’s white and black cultures. Marriage to a visiting Englishman, drawn by her innocent sensuality and beauty, seems to promise escape from her distress. But the lovers’ intense affair takes a sinister turn before the honeymoon is over, as they become caught in a passionate tangle of rumour, history and betrayal.
