Thank you Faber for giving us the books to read. It’s a jarring and realistic telling of the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche. I’ve heard about this book but it has taken me until 57 to read it! Reading about Esther’s breakdown was hard but so relatable (especially after the struggles over the past couple of years due to Covid). The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under-maybe for the last time. Our group were gifted books from Faber and we loved talking about the book as a group.
