Sandjaja Putranto joyahoya — I was so interested in reading this book that I had my library bring it back from an inter-library loan. Most of my eagerness was based on my love of "Jane Eyre" coupled with the curiosity I had always had about Mr. Rochester's first wife. However, while the book is not a total disappointment, it was not all that I hoped it would be. First of all, let me say that the descriptions of the Caribbean Islands are detailed and beautiful. Having just returned from the island of Haiti, I would also say that Rhys' descriptions of the alienation between black and white was dead-on, and still exists in just the form that she described in many places. That being said, it is clear from the very beginning that the author wishes to convey the increasing madness of Antoinette/Bertha through the herky-jerky writing style that is employed. Thoughts skip and scatter, and reading this prose is unnerving and unpleasant. I did like Rhys' short exploration of Rochester's reasoning for marrying the mad Island woman. However, some of his actions (without adding spoilers) went far beyond believable when weighed against his total character development in the rest of this book and in Jane Eyre. Finally, I have to agree with one reviewer who commented that "The English are greedy and cruel, the black West Indians are secretive and inscrutable, and the Creole women are caught in the middle, and it drives them mad, mad, MAD!" Ultimately and rather sadly, that is about the only thing that I took away from this book.

Roshan Dalanja roshandalanja — Bitter, hilarious, ironic, and well ahead of her time. Makes one only wonder what a full length novel from her would have been like. "Clothe The Naked" is nothing short of a masterpiece of short fiction.

Kevin Gonzalez kevinjgonzalez — Good book, however, surprisingly political.
