WIDE SARGASSO SEA

“Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys' steamy prequel to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre”

Dramatisation of Jean Rhys's novel set in 19th-century Jamaica. The tragic story of the first Mrs Rochester from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre centres on an arranged marriage between a white Creole heiress and a brooding Englishman, who fall in love only to be torn apart by rumours, paranoia and a cultural divide.
