The reason I thought Deskisamess might like Wide Sargasso Sea is that it gives an alternative take on Rochester by telling of his 'real' relationship to Bertha. No, it's not Bronte, but interesting to read if you want a different view of the hero. It's like treating him as though he were a real person and someone, not Bronte, tells you about parts of his life missed from the original novel.
But reading this is by no means compulsory; just fun.
