INSIGHTFUL AND A GREAT READ?Buy it when you see the movie!

Tracy Brain is a writer of uncommon talent who brings Sylvia Plath to life in a way no other academic writer has. Instead of dredging up the same old biographical information, Ms. Brain goes where others have not even attempted. I enjoyed the examination of Plath's letters, the new information I gleaned about Plath's relationship with Ted Hughes, and the interesting new connections made between Plath's work and her inner life. Highly recommended!
