Kelly Burke beautifully channels Sylvia Plath in this fictional memoir. [...] Even though the sad facts of Plath's last days are well known, Burke's frenetic delivery provides immediacy and suggests the tragic inevitability of Plath's situation. Together, Cullhed and Burke illuminate the immense poetic gift Plath possessed, and that alone is a major feat. This is an excellent performance of a compelling novel.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BERNARD SHAW PRIZE
A woman’s life, erupting with brilliance and promise, is fissured by betrayal and the pressures of duty. What had once seemed a pastoral family idyll has become a trap, and she struggles between being the wife and mother she is bound to be and wanting to do and be so much more.
The woman in question is Sylvia Plath in the final year of her life. As Plath’s marriage to Ted Hughes unravels through the heady days of their first summer in Devon together, Sylvia turns increasingly to writing to express her pain and loss, yet also her resilience and power. She has decided to die, but the art she creates in her final weeks will set her name, and the world, ablaze.
