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 illfated end, the story of another the other woman: Hughes' mistress Assia Wevill. Like Plath before her, Assia shared her life with Hughes for seven years, until she took her own life and that of their daughter at the age of fortytwo, in a manner that nearly replicated Plath's suicide six years earlier. Drawing on previously unavailable documents and private papers, including Assia's diaries and her intimate correspondence with Hughes, this book shows the vital influence Assia exerted on the poet and his work, and the uneasy life they shared under the long shadow of Plath. A Lover of Unreason is the firstever fulllength biography of Assia Wevill. It casts a keen light, and explores the emergence of a singular twentiethcentury woman. Threetimes divorc career woman, mistress, and single mother, Assia Wevill openly defied the conventions of a censorious prefeminist Britain and mesmerized men and women alike with her quickmind and exotic beauty.
