About this book
An investigation not of a life but of the people who have tried to tell it. Moving among biographers, editors, friends and archives, this book examines how the story of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes has been shaped, contested and fought over in the decades since her death. It asks uncomfortable questions about whose version survives, what biography does to its subjects, and how readers become partisans. Coolly reasoned and often mordantly funny, it reads like literary detection: interviews, letters and rival accounts weighed against one another, with the author openly examining her own position in the dispute.
