Du sagde det selv
Summary
Ted Hughes og Sylvia Platt er et af den moderne litteraturs mest berømte par. Efter hendes selvmord i 1963 er der blevet skrevet utallige biografier om hende, hvor hun fremstår som et offer og han som forræder og morder. Han er blevet dømt af fremmede og anklaget af mennesker, han anså for venner. I "Du siger det selv" giver hollandske Connie Palmen stemme til Ted Hughes. Han døde i 1998, men i de 35 år, der fulgte efter afslutningen på deres passionerede ægteskab, blev det hendes død, der kom til at styre hans liv. Indfølt og skarpsindigt beskriver Palmen deres forhold og ægtemandens angst, tanker og besværgelser - og de dybe, tragiske bånd til den kvinde, der skulle bestemme hans skæbne. En uafrystelig roman om liv og død.

Your Story, My Story
Summary
From the award-winning author of The Friendship comes a shattering, brilliantly inventive novel based on the volatile true love story of literary icons Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. In 1963 Sylvia Plath took her own life in her London flat. Her death was the culmination of a brief, brilliant life lived in the shadow of clinical depression - a condition exacerbated by her tempestuous relationship with mercurial poet Ted Hughes. The ensuing years saw Plath rise to martyr status while Hughes was cast as the cause of her suicide, his infidelity at the heart of her demise. For decades, Hughes never bore witness to the truth of their marriage - one buried beneath a mudslide of apocryphal stories, gossip, sensationalism, and myth. Until now. In this mesmerizing fictional work, Connie Palmen tells his side of the story, previously untold, delivered in Ted Hughes’s own uncompromising voice. A brutal and lyrical confessional, Your Story, My Story paints an indelible picture of their seven-year relationship - the soaring highs and profound lows of star-crossed soul mates bedeviled by their personal demons. It will forever change the way we think about these two literary icons.
