fiction-2008
An engaging and wordy novel allowing the reader a speculative window onto the last few months of Plath's life.
We get to see Sylvia not just as a poet or a tortured soul, we see her as a mother, a child, a lover and a friend. We see the choices and sacrifices she had to make as well as those she chose.
The novel gave strong presentations of seasonal changes in England, as well as comparisons of country and city life.
Very accomplished although at times hard to remember when reading that this is fiction and not biography.
