After she completes her internship, she moves back to Boston but her life does not turn out the way she envisioned it to be. And then slowly but surely, she falls into depression and ultimately takes help.The book also deals with how the protagonist faced critique from the society as she decided to focus on her career rather than getting married and settling down. The book also gives a glimpse into New York of that time.Coming to the title, the bell jar is metaphorical to depression. The protagonist felt trapped inside a bell jar and she could see everyone around her and how they were behaving and they could see her perfectly normal externally. She wanted someone to come and save her but nonetheless no one could see what she was going through internally.The book deals with the complexities of the human mind, the protagonist trying to find her place in the world, societal expectations and taboos on women, depression and suicide. I felt the book was quite ahead of its time since it was set in the 1950’s and navigates through the mental health journey of the protagonist.I found the writing style quite intense and gripping. It was extremely difficult for me to continue reading the book as it became quite overwhelming at times. The book was moderately paced for me.I will treasure reading such an honest portrayal of the author’s life experiences making the book semi-autobiographical. However, I won’t suggest this book for beginners or anyone going through anything difficult in their life becz this book is quite disturbing and it can trigger u. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Read for Sylvia Plath fans *by R***I on 6 September 2024* I have always loved the poems of Sylvia Plath and have read many articles to know she was going through immense depression. This book though fictional is said to be inspired deeply from her personal experiences and I guess that’s what emotionally breaks you down as a Sylvia Plath fan. The first half shows us how modern Sylvia’s thoughts are in terms of women's rights, work ethics, etc, especially we should remember this is the 1950s we are talking about and that’s one of the major reasons which prevents her from gelling with the society. We can understand her struggle to bridge the gap between her thoughts and the society wants her to be.. And the second half plunges to calling out her depression and the treatments she goes through. Although her narrative is emotionally detached, we can feel the pain she must have gone through in this whole process. 4 stars because I did not find any story here, I understood and loved it because I have closely followed her life story and read about it, otherwise I could feel a disconnect in the story flow at some parts..MUST READ for Sylvia Plath fans. DON’T READ for people who are themselves going through depression, because this book throws a negative light on depression and may tell that there is no coming back once you are diagnosed with mental illness, which is not always the case. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good. *by H***R on 11 August 2025* Book quality good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bell the Bell Jar Paperback – 1 January 2012, Sylvia Plath - White Nights - Metamorphosis --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/77714906-bell-the-bell-jar-paperback-1-january-2012-sylvia-plath](https://www.desertcart.it/products/77714906-bell-the-bell-jar-paperback-1-january-2012-sylvia-plath) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
