The last year in the life of Sylvia Plath is reimagined, demonstrating the double-edged sword that was mid-century domesticity versus the burning desire for artistic creation as her marriage to Ted Hughes fell apart along with her mental stability. - Perseus Publishing
A luminous portrayal of a brilliant mind who is at once at battle with herself and with the constraints that society has placed on her.
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, reimagined in fictive form by Elin Cullhed, who seizes the flame of Plath's blistering, creative fire in Euphoria, lending a voice to women everywhere who stand with one foot in domesticity and the other in artistic creation.
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.
