What We Say: Jean Rhys takes us on a journey to the colonialist society of 1930s Jamaica. Antoinette Cosway, a white Creole heiress, falls in love with an Englishman. After their marriage, rumours start circulating, which causes a rift between them. A classic in postcolonial literature, it delves into madness in beautiful prose. 

What They Say: "Exquisitely claustrophobic, this novel is a prequel of sorts to Charlotte Brontë’s Jean Eyre and offers a critical take on the deplorable trope of the ‘madwoman in the attic’, so pervasive in the Western canon" – Hernan Diaz 

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, Barnes & Noble and Amazon
