A Lover of Unreason by Yehuda Koren
'Assia was my true wife, and the best friend I ever had', wrote Ted Hughes, after his lover surrendered her life and that of their young daughter in 1969, six years after Sylvia Plath had suffered a similiar fate.
Unforgettable in its intensityEasily the best work ever on Hughes and his world. One of the most wonderfully well-written and powerful literary biographies I have encountered. Roger Lewis, Mail on Sunday
Yehuda Koren and Eilat Negev are both distinguished literary journalists and authors, and have been researching Assia Wevill's story for 15 years. In the course of their research they have unearthed a mass of personal documents, and interviewed all the key witnesses, most of them speaking here for the first time. Koren and Negev's previous book, In Our Hearts We Were Giants, a dwarf family's survival of the Holocaust was published in eight languages, and inspired two documentary films.
