Summary:
"A seductive literary mystery and mutigenerational story inspired by true events, The Last Confessions of
Sylvia
P. imaginatively brings into focus the period of promise and tragedy that marked the writing of
Sylvia
Plath’s modern classic The
Bell
Jar
. Lee Kravetz uses a prismatic narrative formed from three distinct fictional perspectives to bring
Plath
to life
--
that of her psychiatrist, a rival poet, and years later, a curator of antiquities. Estee, a seasoned curator for a small Massachusetts auction house, makes an astonishing find: the original manuscript of
Sylvia
Plath’s semi-autobiographical novel, The
Bell
Jar
, written by hand in her journals fifty-five years earlier. Vetting the document, Estee will discover she’s connected to Plath’s legacy in an unexpected way. Plath’s psychiatrist, Dr. Ruth Barnhouse, treats
Plath
during the dark days she spends at McLean Hospital following a suicide attempt, and eventually helps set the talented poet and writer on a path toward literary greatness. Poet Boston Rhodes, a malicious literary rival, pushes
Plath
to write about her experiences at McLean, tipping her into a fatal spiral of madness and ultimately forging her legacy. Like Michael Cunningham’s The Hours, Paula McLain’s The Paris Wife, and Theresa Anne Fowler’s Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, The Last Confessions of
Sylvia
P. bridges fact and
fiction
to imagine the life of a revered writer. Suspenseful and beautifully written, Kravetz’s masterful literary novel is a hugely appealing read."--Publisher.
