What I Will Next Be  Reading: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

I  will  next  be reading “The Bell Jar”  by Sylvia Plath.  It is the story of a  young woman  who is  a  writer  that  is  also struggling  with  some issues.   Some facts I got from the  book are that it was published  a  few  weeks  before Sylvia Plath  committed  suicide  and  under  a pseudonym.  The book is written in the first  person and  is  just  over two hundred  pages.

I  first read this book many years  ago and liked  it a lot. I  myself  was going through depression, and the book made me feel  not so alone. I can’t remember if I knew she committed  suicide, I think I did and this made me sad.

It  was  the  only  novel  by  Sylvia  Plath  that  was  published.  The book will be a nice change from “Women in Love”  and  I am looking forward  to reading it. As  always if you want to join me  reading  “The Bell Jar”  then feel free.   When I  am  finished  reading it, I will post a review.

Sincerely,

Avis Yarbrough
