Sylvia Plath's groundbreaking, semi-autobiographical only novel — a searing, darkly funny portrait of mental illness and one young woman's struggle to find her place in the world.
The year is 1953. Talented, ambitious Esther Greenwood leaves Boston for New York City after winning a coveted summer internship at a prestigious fashion magazine. But amid the cocktail parties and glamour, the sensitive young writer begins to feel her life sliding out of control. Returning home to Massachusetts, she spirals into depression, grappling with the suffocating expectations placed on women in 1950s society — and with a darkness she cannot escape.
Razor-sharp, tender and unflinchingly honest, The Bell Jar remains a modern classic and an enduring feminist touchstone, as resonant today as ever.
Please note: this novel deals frankly with depression and suicide.
