"Then I open the door and walk into their world. It is, as I always knew, made of cardboard. I have seen it before somewhere, this cardboard world where everything is coloured brown or dark red or yellow that has no light in it. As I walk along the passages I wish I could see what is behind the cardboard. They tell me that I am in England but I don't believe them. We lost our way to England. When? Where? I don't remember, but we lost it."
- from Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys
