Description

Book Synopsis

For fans of Girl in Pieces and Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department, comes an intensely relatable historical novel-in-verse about the young adult years of the exceptionally talented and original tortured poet, Sylvia Plath, as she casts off all the sexist and limiting expectations of American women and forges her own path.

Sylvia Plath knows she was born to be remembered. She loves learning, literature, and writing, especially poetry. The problem is, she's coming of age in a time when women are expected to happily set aside their dreams for a husband and a home. Even in high school, Sylvia struggles to reconcile the societal expectations placed on women and the ambitions she has for a great career. She aches for a partner and a family, but she longs to become a poet, too. And she's afraid she can't have both.

Covering her high school and college years, and capturing her many highs and lows as she wrestled with her mental health and blazing talent, Love, Sivvy is a beautifully rendered portrait of one of the most incandescent poets of all time.
