Sylvia Plaths shocking, realistic, and intensely emotional novel of a woman falling into the grips of insanity

Esther Greenwood is brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under-maybe for the last time. In her acclaimed and enduring masterwork, Sylvia Plath brilliantly draws the reader into Esthers breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes palpably real, even rationalas accessible an experience as going to the movies. A deep penetration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the human psyche,The Bell Jaris an extraordinary accomplishment and a haunting American classic.
