The Bell Jar

Another difficult, engaging character driven story is "The Bell Jar" by Syliva Plath. The descent into mental illness was told in a startling, vivid way. Perhaps it felt so realistic because it may be semi-autobiographical, and Plath committed suicide shortly after publication.

This one will leave you feeling disturbed, but is worth the time.
