Awful book. I longed to read it for ages, since I read a short passage on my anthology book in my second year at junior high.

I first read Sylvia Plath's one and only novel, The Bell Jar, as a young 20-something, when I was hugely unsure of my place in the world. Indeed, I'd graduated but my career prospects were thwarted by a massive recession (it was 1991) and I was makin ... (read full critics)
