The Bell Jar

The Bell Jar

by Sylvia Plath Author

Esther Greenwood is brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, successful.. and slowly going under. Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther’s breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes completely real and even rational. This deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.
