Except I knew what happened after reading the blurb for the movie adaptation. Ah well.

I will have to go visit and find that week myself, but not until I am done, I think. How can you not be comforted by such good hands?

I won't rehash WE's <em>Jane Eyre</em> week, though. I think the plot of this novel has been declared permanently spoiled. The most assigned book of feminist literary criticism puts the big plot twist right in its title. Maybe the denser undergrads never figure out what it means.

I read Wide Sargasso Sea last year and then reread Jane Eyre - very fun to discuss the two at the same time.
