When I was a teenager I read all of the Brontë novels, including The Professor, Shirley, Villette, Agnes Grey, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. When I was 19 I read all of Jean Rhys‘s novels, including this one. Whyd’you think Charlotte Brontë mutilated and blinded that racist bastard Mr Rochester anyway?
