Simonds' novel refuses to be bound by the pedantry of what we think we know about Assia Wevill's life, reimagining timelines, history, and Assia's inner life and creative work to bring her to life as never before. Assia lacks heroes and villains, a limiting theme of past renditions of this story, giving us not just Assia, but Sylvia Plath, David Wevill, Ted Hughes, and even Assia's young daughter Shura in their troubled, beautiful humanity. Assia is non-linear, but never drops the thread of Wevill's life, instead moving back and forth in time to help us better grasp the choices she, and the people in her orbit, made. The book deftly enfolds and interrogates the mysteries and mythologies of Hitler's Germany, stateless people, Sylvia Plath, Palestine on the brink, and swinging London."-- $c Review from Emily Van Duyne. 600 10 $a Wevill, Assia, $d 1927-1969 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Hughes, Ted, $d 1930-1998 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Plath, Sylvia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women poets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Suicide victims $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011226.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FFF4A05A010B11EEB5B5CDCD2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
