Richly imagined yet meticulously faithful to the actual events of Plath's life, Wintering is a remarkable portrait of the moments of bravery and exhilaration that Plath found among the isolation and terror of her depression

Wintering by Kate Moses is a disturbingly realistic book, especially if you've already been poring over her letters and journals for years, as I have. Moses writes cleanly and clearly, and I read several passages several times because they were so compelling. Fasten your seatbelt, because this book will take you on a tour of the highs and lows of Sylvia Plath's complicated, fascinating, frustrating and ingenious life.
