A review by lottie_xxx
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

dark emotional sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Beautiful prose full of eloquent description. A challenging read in parts, due to Plath’s rawness.
