The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. interweaves three unique narratives and eras that build on each other to ultimately tell a cohesive multigenerational story about a fictional chapter in the history of a classic work of literature: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. One narrative is seen through the perspective of Estee, a seasoned curator for a small Massachusetts auction house who, in 2019, uncovers and sets out to sell Sylvia Plath’s original handwritten manuscript of her memoir, only to discover she is connected to the object in ways she never thought possible. In the second strand, the origin story behind The Bell Jar is revealed through the perspective of Plath’s psychiatrist, Dr. Ruth Barnhouse, who years earlier treats Plath at McLean Hospital and sets her on a path toward literary greatness. In the third narrative , we meet the poet, Boston Rhodes, a literary rival of Plath’s whose enmity simultaneously pushes Plath to write about her experiences at McLean Hospital (the basis for The Bell Jar) and also tips her into a fatal spiral of madness.   Highly suspenseful and beautifully written, this evocative novel figures a rich mix of fictional and real characters offering up a seductive and hugely appealing read.
