A really interesting look at the life of Sylvia Plath by an author who loves her writing and also experienced violence at the ends of her partner. Through looking at what Plath said in her work and words, and what was suppressed, and the difficulties in writing biographies about her, the book presents lots of information on interpersonal violence, the ways women are silenced and much more. I particularly appreciated the chapter on Assia Wevill as it appears to me she is even more misrepresented, such a sad story. A book I found hard to put down (probably because of my own interests in death, mental illness, feminism etc)

I was always interested in learning more about the intriguing, sad, and unbelievable life of Sylvia Platt. I really liked the way Emily incorporated her story and it kept me interested and wanting to know more. Very interesting take on one of literary most iconic figures.
