I just finished a biography of Sylvia Plath by Carl
Rollyson. It is really good and as compelling as fiction.
The marriage of two literary figures with such complex
personalities is fascinating.
She suffered from depression and had an early suicide attempt
before her final episode. Ted Hughes was a callous S.O.B and
his mistress that he left her for, committed suicide and took
their child with her. He and his sister Olwyn had control
of her journals and unpublished writing. Some of the journals
were destroyed to protect his image.
I really think you would all enjoy the book.
