It couldn't ever be called a fun read, but it is an important book that I think everyone should read at least once.

It is nearly impossible for me to think of Sylvia Plath without thinking of Virginia Woolf. Somehow I think they would have created a very great friendship. I would love to see a stage play in which the two authors are presented together as friends.

I loved the truth behind it , I loved the writing and the imagery , I still can't forget that fig tree branching out in front of Esther/Sylvia and how it resonates with me.
I have a question though I hope somebody can answer: there is one event in this book I don't understand , as in I don't understand the meaning behind it , if there is any deep meaning that is, it's when Esther loses her virginity and starts to bleed. Can anybody shed some light to this events meaning?
Thank you!

The title of the movie is Sylvia and the title character was performed by Gwyneth Paltrow with Daniel Craig as her husband - the poet, Ted Hughes.
If you are interested you can find more info on it here:

There is an excellent trailer available at this URL. (click the "skip ad" box within the movie frame in the lower left).
