The Bell Jar

Sylvia Plath's shocking, realistic, and deeply emotional novel about a woman's descent into madness. Esther Greenwood is brilliant, beautiful, incredibly talented, and successful, but she's on the decline—possibly for the final time. Sylvia Plath brilliantly draws the reader into Esther's breakd... own with such intensity in her acclaimed and enduring masterwork that her insanity becomes palpably real, even rational—as accessible an experience as going to the movies. The Bell Jar is an extraordinary achievement and a haunting American classic, delving deep into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the human psyche. Quotations: “You will never be disappointed if you expect nothing from anyone.” “I took a deep breath and listened to my heart's old brag. I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.” “Let me live, love, and express myself in well-crafted sentences.”
