Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clark

5.0

---

Wow. Not a detail spared. Her poems and writing thoughtfully examined as the events of her life influenced them. The last section of the book was so powerful to me. It was heartbreaking.

I am so glad I read (listened) to this. It took a woman I admired but knew very little about and made her flesh and bone, genius, pathos, and all.
