challenging informative slow-paced

5.0

Admittedly I did not know much about Plath, but one 45 hour-long audiobook later and I want to read all of her work. A very in depth, yet empathetic look at Sylvia Plath’s life and how a very of factors shaped her work and personal struggles.

1000 pages of drudgery tbh. 40+ hours of audiobook! Too much for me, even as a pretty big Plath fan.
