I guess I’m just not interested at all in reading about Ted Hughes. Trying to flip through as fast as I can so I can get back to Sylvia’s story

Enchanting and complicated story, at the point right before we meet Ted Hughes. Although the author’s alternating use of Plath and Sylvia is disorienting — it’s like a thesaurus book except these are the only two ‘synonyms’. I wish they just stuck to one
