Shook. Listened to this as an audio book - all 46 hours of it - and there were times I needed to be doing something else but I ignored my responsibilities to keep listening. I’ve always loved Sylvia Plath and of course had some idea of her life but this was something else entirely. If you have any interest at all in the finer details of this amazing authors life, pick this one up and prepare yourself.
