Sylvia Plath’s only novel, The Bell Jar, was semi-autobiographical. In a letter to her mother, she described it as “I think it will show how isolated a person feels when he is suffering a breakdown…. I’ve tried to picture my world and the people in it as seen through the distorting lens of a bell jar”. The novel was published about a month before her February 1963 suicide.
