Movie: The Wide Sargasso Sea
2025-12-11 12:30 - 14:00
Join us to preview the movie The Wide Sargasso Sea. A prequel to “Jane Eyre.” An Englishman in nineteenth-century Jamaica falls into a tortured marriage with a native Creole. When the woman begins to go mad, her husband takes her back to his gothic estate in England, where he locks her in the attic.
The Afternoon book discussion will take place after the movie and we will discuss the book that the movie is based upon. The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Books are available to borrow.

Afternoon Book Discussion
2025-12-11 14:00 - 15:00
This month’s book selection is The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. In this the author’s last and best-selling novel, she ingeniously brings into light one of fiction’s most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.
Books are available to borrow. Join us!
