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.
