Review of "Sylvia Plath's The bell jar" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The protagonist's struggle to be original, not to follow the path society expects her to follow - but internal conflicts that arises from this struggle is the major theme of this work. The novel contains a graphic detail of life in an asylum.
