Sylvia Plath: A Biography by Connie Ann Kirk

challenging dark emotional informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

Absolutely gut-wrenching, but very telling and informative piece on Plath. The amount of research and respect in honouring her character and her experiences was duly noted and appreciated with every page. I could not put this down. So many parallels with myself and Plath though. I’m convinced she was bipolar and had quiet bpd. Absolutely terrible. Beautiful account of her life.
