Dɪɢɪᴛᴀʟɪs Pᴜʀᴘᴜʀᴇᴀ reviewed The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
A must of 20th century us literature
5 stars
This is prose writing at it's absolute best, and however distressing the content of the book may be , you can't fail to be impressed by the masterful use of English by this unbelievably gifted young woman. I went on to read Sylvia's journal, and at that point it became obvious that you can substitute the name Esther for Sylvia - they are one and the same. I've felt compelled to read much of the other prose and poetry she wrote in her tragically short life and can totally understand why she's regarded as one of the greatest writers of twentieth century literature.
