Thank you Netgalley for providing a digital ARC.
Euphoria is a fictional account of Sylvia Plath in the final year of her life, primarily focusing on motherhood, creative expression, and her separation from her unfaithful husband Ted Hughes. I've read other books about Sylvia Plath's life that I've enjoyed more, but Euphoria does a good job at finding and communicating Plath's narrative voice.
