I read it a few years back and cannot remember it now. I googled it and still can’t remember it. SO, I CAN remember books I’ve read years and years ago, so somehow I guess this book did not strike a cord with me for some reason. I advise you to start the book and if the writer’s voice speaks to you, then continue reading. It IS a classic after all.
I read it as a teen and was incredibly impressed by it. Don’t know if I find it anything other than depressing now. – but Plath is such a wonderful poet, and the book is a classic, so…. ? If you are interested in Sylvia Plath, I thought Wintering was very well done.
Yes indeed ??
Yes!
Yes, a little sad.

Me too… All I can remember is ” meh” ….
I really didn’t enjoy it I’m afraid. It kind of seemed pointless and I struggled to finish it. Plenty seem to like it though.
Kind of upsetting.
Thank you folks!
More comments are welcome
Yes.
Yes
Certainly a classic that should be in your reading repertoire.
Yes. One of the VERY few books I have read more than once.
Yes.
Excellent, a classic. You must read. One of those books that became a part of me.
It’s sadder if you read up on the author first. I recommend that. If you Google Sylvia Plath and read about her this book takes on a whole new meaning
Yes I’ve read her poetry mainly, it is sad what had happened to her in real life.
I feel the same as @Clare. I struggled to get through it.
depressing
