This book is unfair to Sylvia Plath, seemingly in an attempt to appease those who are still alive and have control over her estate. I take greatest issue not with the glossing over of Ted Hughes' abandonment and infidelity to Sylvia (and leaving her a single mother in the 1960s) but Stevenson's...
Rough Magic: A Biography of Sylvia Plath
