Wide Sargasso Sea is a 1966 novel by Jean Rhys. The story explores the life of Antoinette Cosway, a young Creole woman in the Caribbean, and her troubled marriage to Edward Rochester. The novel is a prequel to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, and offers a different perspective on the character of Bertha Mason, the "madwoman in the attic." Rhys examines themes of race, class, gender, and identity in the context of colonialism and oppression.
