笘� Su 笘�'s review

Jun 29, 2014

it was amazing

bookshelves: 5-stars, in-english, mental-illness, classics, nonfiction, contemporary, feminism

I really wish I had read this book when i was depressed. I could have related so much more to Esther's character.
i felt that Sylvia Plath was sharing a part of herself in this book and i really couldn't separate Esther from Sylvia in my mind.
a very powerful beautifully written novel.

I tried not to think about Plath committing suicide as I read the book, but it was there.

This is one of those books that everyone should read.
