Well that was a LONG read. Extremely detailed and gave me a greater insight into the woman and the times that she lived in. The author really does an excellent job of exploring all the dimensions of Plath's life (and history). It is an exhausting read; took me a quite a while to get through (and I am a quick reader), but is well worth it. (Although you might need something light and "fluffy" after you get through the darkness that encompasses the life of Sylvia Plath.)
