Since her suicide at age thirty, Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) has been celebrated for her impeccable and ruthless poetry, which excels at describing the most extreme reaches of Plath's consciousness and passions.

Alexander is undeniably biased towards Sylvia in the conflict with her husband Ted Hughes which resulted in her tragic suicide. Certainly, Hughes' ingrained sexism was a contributing cause to her plight, but, given the times, how many men would have behaved differently towards her need to write? As for his infidelity, well, that's a whole 'nother issue. (

Of all the books I have read avout the life of Sylvia Plath I think this one does the best job of giving you a good overview of Sylvia life. If you only have time to read on book about her this is the one to read. (

I've always been fascinated by Sylvia Plath. This was one of the first biographies of her written without the authorization of her husband, the late Ted Hughes. As such it gives a very different view of her personality and especially of her marriage than some others out there. I liked it.
