I read the Bell Jar and it was my favourite read ever. I see a lot of posts looking for books similar to the Bell Jar in terms of themes and ideas – yes I did enjoy this too but I was primarily in awe of Plath’s writing. It was so witty and beautifully written. Each description was painted in such vivid metaphor and detail that I felt like I could envision every scene in my head. I felt like every word used was so clever and intentional. It felt like reading art. You can truly tell that Plath was a poet.
I don’t want books that are “he said this, and then she said this”, but sometimes books that are overly descriptive can also become an eye-sore. I don’t know how to describe it- Plath wrote in such a simplistic way but she got her point across so well. Any recommendations are welcomed. I have been itching to read a book that is as beautiful as the Bell Jar. Please!!!
