Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clark

ashbeth2011's review

dark informative reflective sad slow-paced

3.0

This book is long and unless you want to read the whole thing, don't choose to read it. Sylvia's life wad indeed sad due to her mental health but many things about her life are deeply problematic as well. Such a life full of cognitive dissonance which was never fully reconciled.
