Chronicle of the life of Ted Hughes' lover, an attempt to make her a sympathetic character and further evidence that Hughes was not husband of the year. It was very readable, and compelled my interest in the whole messy saga.

I suppose if I were more in tune with the many literary figures of the 60's who are involved in this sad episode, I might have enjoyed it more. The life of Assia Gutman is certainly a tragic one - her desperate search for approval is heart wrenching.
