  “I am not a fan of Sylvia Plath...I prefer Anne Sexton...but I have a fascination with her husband Ted Hughes and his relationship with Assia Wevill”

  “Fantastic book -- tragic! "The failure of the marriage between Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes has always been considered from one of two conflicting viewpoints: hers or his. Missing for more than four decades has been a third perspective on the events that brought their marriage to its ill-fated end, the story of another—the other—woman: Hughes’ mistress Assia Wevill."
  
  True story!”
