Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath — 2 titles in the rankings, first published between 1963 and 1965. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.
Editor’s note The Bell Jar, her only novel, follows a gifted young woman’s summer in New York and her descent into depression; it is closely based on Plath’s own life and appeared under a pseudonym a month before her death in 1963. It is by far her most read book. Ariel, the poems she wrote in her last months, published after her death, rates slightly higher.
