The Bell Jar is an amazing and powerful book. When I read this book I came to appreciate my life a lot more, even with all the stuff “Esther” had, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The most important thing to remember is that when people are sick, and made big decisions (suicide) it isn’t our fault, they choose to do it.

I love this book and have so far read it twice and hope it read it again in the future. She had such a sad life. I love her prose and hope to read her complete works of poetry of which I have only read a couple of collections so far. If you liked this you might also enjoy Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel about her battle with depression.

Oooh, that quoted passage is powerful. I just read a poem, “Mirror,” by Plath recently and thought she’s not afraid to look squarely at something difficult… But somehow her perspective isn’t complete, either. This book sounds like an interesting read.

I first read this book in high school many years ago and have read it many more times since. I’m a fan of Plath but have not seen Sylvia. Maybe I should check it out.
