The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sylvia's semi-autobiographical novel comes across to me like a time capsule for another era. In that time it seemed women were corraled into a superficial appearance of independence and intelligence. As Plath's main character seems to get lost in the struggle between that artificial world and her own spirited if unformed individual direction I find it difficult to connect with her, but also sympathetic for her accident of placement in time while also enjoying a story artfully told.
