Our August title is Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

This post-colonial prequel to Jane Eyre tells the background story of the “madwoman in the attic”. Antoinette Cosway is a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind. Register here to attend via Zoom
