The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

---

This book is beautifully bleak. However, Plath cannot go more than a few pages without racism and describing anything out of the ordinary as “queer”.
