The Ballad Of Sylvia And Ted by Emma Tennant

The Ballad Of Sylvia And Ted by Emma Tennant

"The Ballad of Sylvia and Ted" tells the story of the early days and then the meeting, marriage and separation of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. The three protagonists described here - Sylvia, the wounded, ambitious poet; Ted the lover of freedom and nature; and Assia Wevill, the woman who came between them and suffered for her passion - are brought together in a scene of shifting perspectives. In vivid prose, the author takes the reader beyond the familiar outlines of the pair's legend, from the scarlet lipstick and headband Sylvia wore on the night they first met, to the yards of red corduroy curtains left unfinished at her death.

Emma Tennant was born in London and spent much of her childhood at the family home in Scotland. Her most recent books are Strangers: A Family Romance, Girlitude: A Memoir of the '50s and '60s and Burnt Diaries and she is also the author of the novels The Bad Sister and Wild Nights, along with Two Women of London: The Strange Case of Ms Jekyll and Mrs Hyde.
