'A literary rite of passage.' The Times'Plath changed our world.' GuardianEsther is supposed to be having the time of her life.

  1. 4/5 RonKst

    Vad kan man säga, det är en klassiker som alla unga kvinnor bör läsa någon gång i livet för att väcka tankar. Vi är ju alla bara människor med drömmar.

  2. 5/5 Audrey M

    I can truly recommend the American poet Sylvia Plath's brilliant, iconic semi-autobiographical novel. It's disturbing. It's humorous and it's unforgettable.

  3. 5/5 Flisa

    En av de bästa böckerna som skrivits! En klassiker som har hållit sig aktuell och som är en läsupplevelse för nya generationer.
