This book was such a surprise to me, as I figured it would be another half-baked attempt to cash in on the Hughes-Plath story. What a shocker! I found myself running the gamut of emotions, from shock and dismay to utter sympathy and understanding. The book really IS about Assia Wevill, and she was a layered and fascinating woman of her time. Her journey from her childhood in Nazi Germany to Israel and eventually to England is recorded in a mesmerizing way by the authors.
