I did finish this book, but it was hard to read.Ĭlaudy has done it again in this light hearten love story. ![]() The final straw was when the hero shouted, "Give them what for!" I can honestly say that in the hundreds of historicals I've read, I've never seen that phrase in one before. It's England, it's cold, and according to every other book I've read, she would have been in a nightgown. A young virgin would not have been sleeping nude in her bed. I read Regency romances all the time and the dialogue and action was just not realistic to the time period. I mean it's not porn, but I can't figure out why the author started out afraid to use sexual words when by the end of the book, she was using "tits" and had an innocent virgin kissing a "cock" during her first experience. And come to find out, this is far from clean. "She got a 'feeling' when he was around."

Plath’s love of poetry ran deep, which Clark underscores by presenting selections from her juvenilia, something no previous biographer has done. Ultimately what emerges is the portrait of a highly resourceful, resilient woman-an uncommonly original thinker and artist who brought passion and discipline into remarkably taut balance in both her life and poems. ![]() In the process she has filled in many of the spaces in the poet’s life that have remained inexplicably blank: her professor-father, Otto Plath’s, early life after immigrating to this country the influential relationship between Plath and her psychiatrist, Ruth Beuscher and the behind-the-scenes alliance between Plath’s mother, Aurelia, and the poet’s benefactress, Olive Higgins Prouty.
