She finds herself spiralling into serious depression as she grapples with difficult relationships and a society which refuses to take her aspirations seriously.The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath's only novel, was originally published in 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas.

Esther Greenwood is at college and is fighting two battles one against her own desire for perfection in all things - grades boyfriend looks career - and the other against remorseless mental illness. As her depression deepens she finds herself encased in it bell-jarred away from the rest of the world. This is the story of her journey back into reality. Highly readable witty and disturbing The Bell Jar is Sylvia Plath's only novel and was originally published under a pseudonym in 1963. What it has to say about what women expect of themselves and what society expects of women is as sharply relevant today as it has always been.
