Jo, I learnt so much from reading this. I’ve not heard of sargussum, nor have I read either of the books 😳 - I am going to rectify that! Fascinating, thought-provoking and poignant.
Will do! You’ve got me thinking about other classics which have been rewritten or had prequels/sequels written in modern times. For example King Lear and One Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley, Rebecca and Rebecca’s Tale by Sally Beauman…
I haven’t read either of those, so now you are educating me! You’ve reminded me that in book group we read a few of the Hogarth Shakespeare rewrites, by some brilliant authors. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogarth_Shakespeare

I’d say chronological- start with the romanticism of jane, then delve into the depths.
