A poignant and intensely private look a Sylvia Plath's life and events leading to her suicide. A definite prerequisite to 'The Bell Jar'.
"Finally now, young women writers can cease to identify with the apparent self-destroyer in Sylvia Plath and begin to understand the forces she had to reckon with. What comes across in the letters is a survivor who knew that to be a writer means discipline, indefatigable commitment, and passion for hard work."-- Adrienne Rich
