All mood, very few events: it was like this, and it was like that, and years did pass somehow... reading it was like eating whipped skim milk.Depressing and compelling, but hardly a narrative; more a meditation, or an enormously stretched out poem. The imagery was poetic, and the few details: the scarlet headband, the table, the hand under the tap holding a knife. Fairy tales.Perhaps because it was based on real people, and she had few definite events to deal with? I suppose much of it did read like hazy recollections. I tell you, no, it was like this.Sylvia reads as most difficult to live with. That came through in the real biography I read, and even a little in the Bell Jar. Can't blame Ted for his leaving of her, only for the manner of it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The Ballad of Sylvia and Ted tells the story of the early days and then the meeting, marriage and separation of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. The three protagonists described here - Sylvia, the wounded, ambitious poet; Ted the lover of freedom and nature; and Assia Wevill, the woman who came between them and suffered for her passion - are brought together in a scene of shifting perspectives. In vivid prose, the author takes the reader beyond the familiar outlines of the pair's legend, from the scarlet lipstick and headband Sylvia wore on the night they first met, to the yards of red corduroy curtains left unfinished at her death.

I have read other novels about Plath as well as her poetry and journals. This book adds an atmospheric interpretation of this tragic and well-documented marriage and ultimately her suicide. Recommended for those readers who love language but in this case are not seeking a linear story. ( )
