Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom: A Story by Sylvia Plath
3.0
3.25 stars
Probably only of interest to Plath fans, but a quick and interesting read nonetheless. She's very effective at creating a mood of unease and mystery. This story serves well as a fable, but I wanted a little more depth/detail for the protagonist. It's impossible to read the train journey as anything other than a suicide metaphor, knowing Plath's eventual fate.
