Very brief; I longed for a more intimate discussion of the author's relationship with Plath. The author examines her behavior toward Plath during her last days before the suicide (Plath and her children stayed with the author).The matter-of-fact tone was appreciated, given the possibility of sentimentality. However, she also assumes that the reader is also knowledgeable about Hughes' work and even all of Plath's work, given her references to both without much explanation.

"Giving Up" is Jillian Becker's intimate account of her brief but extraordinary time with Sylvia Plath during the winter of 1963, the last months of the poet's life. Abandoned by Ted Hughes, Sylvia found companionship and care in the home of Becker and her husband, who helped care for the estranged couple's two small children while Sylvia tried to rest. In clear-eyed recollections unclouded by the intervening decades, Becker describes the events of Sylvia's final days and suicide: her physical and emotional state, her grief over Hughes's infidelity, her mysterious meeting with an unknown companion the night before her suicide, and the harsh aftermath of her funeral. Alongside this tragic conclusion is a beautifully rendered portrait of a friendship between two very different women. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
