The Bell Jar
by Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath's shocking, realistic, and highly emotional novel about a woman who falls into the grip of madness. Esther Greenwood is bright, handsome, extremely talented and successful, but she walks slowly --- last time. With her famous and long-lasting talent, Sylvia Plath draws the reader into the downfall of clever Esther with such intensity that her madness becomes palpably real, even rational—an experience as accessible as going to the movies. Deeply permeating the darkest and most painful corners of the human psyche, The Bell Jar is an extraordinary achievement and an unforgettable American classic.
