SHORTLISTED FOR THE BERNARD SHAW PRIZE
EARPHONES AWARD WINNER

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 yearning for so much more.


The woman in question is Sylvia Plath in the final year of her life. As Plath’s marriage to Ted Hughes unravels, 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.

Commentaires

"Kelly Burke beautifully channels Sylvia Plath in this fictional memoir. [...] Even though the sad facts of Plath's last days are well known, Burke's frenetic delivery provides immediacy and suggests the tragic inevitability of Plath's situation. Together, Cullhed and Burke illuminate the immense poetic gift Plath possessed, and that alone is a major feat. This is an excellent performance of a compelling novel."
"An audacious, gripping novel . . . a book for our times"
"Euphoria is about the fissures between motherhood, love and creativity but is also a celebration of Plath's power"
"Compelling and visceral"
"A novel about the conflicted emotional underbelly of female experience - including childbirth, desire, envy, rage, insecurity, ambition . . . Brave"
"A sensitive and artistic account of a woman attempting to write herself out of oblivion . . . not a book about death, it is a book about art, more specifically, female art, and its resilience and endurance"
"Compelling"
"Imagines the hopes, fears, dreams and memoirs of [Plath's] final months, as well as the growing tensions between the worlds of creativity and domesticity. Based on archival research but explicitly a work of fiction, Elin Cullhed's book aims to focus not on Plath's death but instead on the complexities and contradictions of her life"
