Assia by Sandra Simonds

dark reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

A haunting, poetic novel that reimagines the life of Assia Wevill—the woman Ted Hughes had an affair with that led to his split from Sylvia Plath. 

I really appreciated how this piece contextualizes Asia’s journey outside of Plath and Hughes. 

This review does a great job!!
