### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING
*by 1***5 on May 16, 2014*

One of the best works of colonial and feminist lit. I've read in a long time. I've never been a huge fan of Jane Eyre and this book beautifully emphasizes some of the horrid flaws apparent in Bronte's work. I do think you need to have a basic understanding of Jane Eyre in order to fully appreciate this novel. I found Rhys's writing to be tragic, yet liberating, and the ending, veering into Jane Eyre's plot, suggests the inevitability go the whole thing: Rhys isn't arguing for a re-writing of the novel, because it cannot be re-written. She is simply giving a voice to one of the most ignored character tropes in Western/Victorian literature, the mad woman in the attic, and thus, liberating her from the confines of the page. Through this, she also toppled the conventional notion of the Bildungsroman right on its head, a beautiful inversion that is also heartbreakingly tragic.
