Description

Esther Greenwood is amazing, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under—maybe the past period. In her suffering and acclaimed masterwork, Sylvia Plath superbly pulls the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that her madness becomes palpably true, actually rational—as accessible an event as likely to the films. A heavy penetration in to the darkest and most painful corners of the human mind, The Bell Jar is definitely an amazing achievement and a haunting American classic.
