BELL JAR

by Sylvia Plath

HARPER PERENNIAL · 2005

A young woman's glittering summer internship in 1950s New York City unravels into a disorienting descent into mental illness. Sylvia Plath's semi-autobiographical novel plunges readers into the sharp, witty, and ultimately harrowing mind of Esther Greenwood as she grapples with societal expectations and her own fragile psyche. This classic offers an unsparing, visceral portrayal of a breakdown and the precarious path toward recovery, resonating powerfully with anyone who has ever felt out of sync with the world.
