A woman's life, erupting with brilliance and promise, is fissured by
betrayal and the pressures of duty. What had once seemed a pastoral
family idyll has become a trap, and she struggles between being the wife
and mother she is bound to be and wanting to do and be so much more.
The woman in question is Sylvia Plath in the final year of her life,
reimagined in fictive form by Elin Cullhed, who seizes the flame of
Plath's blistering, creative fire in Euphoria, lending a voice to
women everywhere who stand with one foot in domesticity and the other in
artistic creation.
As Plath's marriage to Ted Hughes unravels through the heady days of
their first summer in Devon together, Sylvia turns increasingly to
writing to express her pain and loss, yet also her resilience and power.
She has decided to die, but the art she creates in her final weeks will
set her name, and the world, ablaze.
