The Bell Jar is the only novel written by American writer and poet Plath. Originally published in 1963, the semi-autobiographical work charts a young woman’s descent into mental illness and the burden of societal pressures. The book paralleled Plath’s own experiences with depression; the writer tragically died by suicide just a month after the novel’s first UK publication. In the U.S., the book became an instant best-seller, and has since been translated into more than forty languages. Eilish will play lead character Esther Greenwood.The material feels like a good fit for dark pop queen Eilish, known for her soulful and introspective lyrics and songs. No plans at this stage for Eilish to contribute music to the project, but that could be nice if it came to pass.
