THE BELL JAR

The Bell Jar is the literary rite of passage that has transformed the lives of millions of readers since it was first published in 1963.

The unflinchingly honest portrait of a young woman's breakdown.

Esther is supposed to be having the time of her life. Her internship at a fashion magazine is a whirl of cocktail parties and dinner dates in the shimmering city. But why doesn't she feel anything? Back home in the suburbs, she is trapped inside a suffocating belljar.

She can't write her novel; her boyfriend is a hypocrite; there seems no point in getting out of bed. As she spirals into darkness, her world becomes increasingly unreal ...

Its witty, acidic, razor-sharp voice will stay with you forever.
