como me ha gustado este libro, me encanta como escribe Sylvia Plath, tan sencillo y tan cotidiano, y cuando menos te lo esperas, te suelta perlitas. Cuente lo que cuente da gusto leerla, qué interesante todo lo que dice y cómo ve las cosas. Además, es bastante graciosa sin quererlo jahsja
Muy sorprendida con este libro, que bonito q es.
Es una novela que además tiene un gran carácter bibliográfico, y ayuda a desmitificar el fetiche que parece rodear su suicidio. Trata temas relacionados directamente con sus sufrimientos como las enfermedades mentales, y todo contado desde la perspectiva de una chica de 20 años.
Lo q más me gusta, es q parece q juegue con las palabras como una niña, sin afán de nada, solo escribe lo que le sale, y escribe precioso (sobre todo la segunda mitad).

si cabe mencionar q la tía era una racista

this book immediately became a favorite for me. Plath's ability to articulate incredibly specific thoughts and sensations makes the narrative feel exceptionally authentic. this story will linger in my mind forever, particularly the haunting fig tree analogy.
