Frieda Hughes

Frieda Hughes was only two years old when her mother Sylvia Plath committed suicide. She was raised by an equally famous poet — her father, Ted Hughes. Frieda herself became a poet, and a painter, but she has had to jostle with her parents’ reputations and 40 years of gossip about their notoriously volatile relationship.
