I was supposed to be having the time of my life. When Esther
Greenwood wins an internship on a New York fashion magazine in
1953, she is elated, believing she will finally realise her dream
to become a writer. But in between the cocktail parties and piles
of manuscripts, Esther's life begins to slide out of control. She
finds herself spiralling into depression and eventually a suicide
attempt, as she grapples with difficult relationships and a society
which refuses to take women's aspirations seriously. The Bell Jar,
Sylvia Plath's only novel, was originally published in 1963 under
the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. The novel is partially based on
Plath's own life and descent into mental illness, and has become a
modern classic. The Bell Jar has been celebrated for its darkly
funny and razor sharp portrait of 1950s society and has sold
millions of copies worldwide.
