SYLVIA AND TED
by Emma Tennant
Through imaginative fiction Emma Tennant vividly evokes the social and literary circles in which Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes traveled. From the scarlet lipstick and head band Sylvia wore the night they first met, to the yards of red corduroy curtains left unfinished at her death, Emma Tennant constructs a ballad from unforgettable images that tap into our very nerve endings.
As Sylvia and Ted struggles to create both life and art, their duet becomes a duel, creating a powerful vortex of sensation and passion that draws every one into its path including Sylvia's darkly beautiful rival, Assia Wevil. These three talented yet tortured people deserve their place in the 20th century's most famous literary love affairs. This intensely poetic book breathe life into their characters
