Speaking of "Wide Saragasso Sea," that song PERFECTLY describes my life. I mean, down to the Britishman on a tropical island. I'm dead serious.

I'm trying to read it.

It's basically a prequel to Jane Eyre. It's about Bertha Mason (renamed Antoinette Cosway in WSS) and her relationship w/ Mr. Rochester before she went crazy and he locked her up in the attic.

Technically, I think Stevie wrote WSS about the trashy movie they made out of the book in 1993, which is on YouTube.

I have a crush on someone on the boards!

I can't help it.

He's not even the 'g' word (I think)

I've read it three times--it's one of my favorite books. I went on to read a biography of Jean Rhys and a play about her, and take Caribbean History chiefly because of it.
When I found out Stevie was basing a song on WSS, I was probably giddy for two days. One of those moments of, "This is why I'm obsessed with this woman! And why I'm obsessed with this book!"
You really don't like it? Have you read up on Jean Rhys at all? That might help--her story and connection to Bertha are pretty incredible.
