The Bell Jar

by Sylvia Plath
Compare to estimated retail price: S$19.54  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.

The Bell Jar
The Bell Jar

Descent into madness amid 1950s societal pressures.

If you're drawn to raw, poetic accounts of personal struggle, "The Bell Jar" will resonate deeply with you. Sylvia Plath's semi-autobiographical novel doesn't shy away from the darkness of mental illness, set against the rigid backdrop of mid-20th century expectations for women. It's both a tragic and beautifully crafted story that offers a window into the mind's fragilities and the societal pressures that amplify them.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
