Sylvia Plath Watches Us Sleep But We Don't Mind by Victoria Richards

Sylvia Plath Watches Us Sleep But We Don't Mind by Victoria Richards

A woman worries, under her duvet, whether she should sit content in a marriage that has turned comfortable...that is, until she falls in love with a tree... Short stories of midnight musings, of women itching to be heard and of delightful insanities.

"These eerie short stories themed around mental health, grief, and dysfunctional relationships are a strange delight to readVictoria Richards' prose is artful, ethereal, and thrilling." - Golnoosh Nour; "If there is a better way to spend an evening than curled up on an armchair with this beautiful book, then I don't know about it and I don't want to. Richards is a master storyteller and a generous god - always tempting you further into the myriad worlds she creates. These are stories which demand to be read and then read again. They are stories which stay with you long after you've had to put the book down and get up from the chair. They are stories about love and womanhood and faith and loss and longing; about drowning and breathing; about being alive and what we can do about it." - Amelia Loulli, Poet
