The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath

Esther Greenwood arrives in New York for what should be a glittering summer...magazine internships, parties, the promise of a bright future; yet beneath the surface, something begins to fracture.

The Bell Jar traces Esther’s slow descent into mental illness with startling clarity and honesty. Sharp, darkly funny and deeply unsettling, the novel captures the suffocating expectations placed on young women and the quiet terror of losing oneself.

Esther’s story is both painfully intimate and universally recognisable. Bleak, intelligent and unforgettable, The Bell Jar remains one of the most powerful literary portraits of inner life.
