I just finished reading Sylvia Plath, and I don’t think I’ll ever shake it off. I went in expecting powerful writing, but what I found was something raw, luminous, and unsettling all at once. The way she captures inner worlds without ever dulling or softening them left me moved in a way few books have.
I know she’s often spoken of as a tragic figure, but reading her work reminded me she wasn’t just a story about suffering, she was an astonishingly skilled writer with a voice that still feels urgent.
For anyone else who’s read her: how did her writing land with you? Did you also find yourself haunted by it long after putting the book down?
