by Sylvia Plath
First published 1975
Sylvia Plath's letters pulse with raw emotion and poetic brilliance. From her college years to her final days, she bares her soul - ambition, love, despair - in vivid, unsparing prose. As she descends into depression, her missives grow more desperate, painted in shades of sorrow and rage. Yet Plath's voice remains captivating, her talent undimmed, right up to the tragic end.
