Lives Revised: Assia Wevill, Ted Hughes, and Sylvia Plath Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick

 I didn’t go on with this, because it is just too academic, although I am very interested in these three famous writers, and I love Sylvia Plath’s poetry. I prefer ‘straight’ biographies. Written from a feminist and psychological perspective and based on interviews and writings, it sheds new light on these figures, steeped in myth and legend, especially Assia, who is even now regarded as an ‘evil’ woman and blamed for Sylvia’s suicide. I did read A Lover of Unreason years ago, and it seems to be the newest one, apart from this, so it looks like I’ll have to read it again. Although my niece gave it to me, I decided that it was too depressing to keep, unfortunately, so I gave it away again. 

I received this free ebook from Edelweiss in return for an honest review.

NB: I wrote that I was into Sylvia Plath’s at the moment, and someone on FB wrote that ‘your husband must find you a lot of fun’! No comment.
