I'm reading one of those books you always meant to read, but never got around to it, but it is a classic and you should have read it .....
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, and I have to say "mmemmmphh" - I'm not real impressed at all, by either the story or the writing ... I'll finish it, but I don't think I really missed anything here. There are some striking uses of tropical imagery, but the story line, dialogue, and plot are really unimpressive. Especially when you consider the obeah story lines. Sigh ...
