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

5.0

I haven't technically finished this, but considering I'm 60% through and haven't touched it in a while, I'm crossing it off the list for now. That said, this is such a great illustration of her life in an honest way I've yet to read. I did a lot of Plath research during my MA and it was often disheartening how many people wrote negatively about her, for seemingly no reason and I'm happy to finally read something that portrays all of the hard work she put into her art and the struggles she faced being taken seriously.
