This is not the perfect introduction to Sylvia Plath, otherwise this collection would have received an "excellent" grade. As good as these tales are, there is always the question of "his" input after the fact. However, the reader develops such a sense of who the writer is that she becomes quickly identified in each tale. Every few years I wonder if the writer was as good as I remember, and every few years I read an offering such as this collection and I am reminded....WOW, she really was this good!
This book gets into Plath's illness a little. The title story is fabulous...i wish she had been here to edit this, to see it published. That's the bad thing about this work...it's just collected notes that Hughes put together. It doens't have the cohesion that she may have given it. But I loved it anyways. Some of the short pieces were more intriguing than most, but the mundane ones still had so much of her in it...they convey alot of her life and how she adjusted to domesticity and success.
