Disappearing into a book or a box set is a tempting pursuit when you need to create a virtual bubble round yourself. I’m currently halfway through the biggest book I’ve probably ever read, the Pulitzer Prize finalist Red Comet by Heather Clark, a biography of Sylvia Plath.
It’s a masterpiece, so richly researched and detailed, it’s awe-inspiring and you feel as if you’ve stepped into a time machine back to the 1950s and 60s.
