I'm looking for books to read that are written in a style similar to Sylvia Plath in The bell jar. I enjoyed the book and how juicy and descriptive each detail was, until the suicidal ideation and attempt arc began. That kind of thing is not for me. I wish I was forewarned before I became invested in the book. I have been through the loss of a close loved one by taking their own life and it's only been a year, we are in the aftermath.
This book has almost totally put me off reading for pleasure after I just convinced myself to start reading again, and I love reading. I lost my baby in the nicu 7 months ago, I've been in a slump.
So, I'm looking for similar literary style, very poetic and thoughtful books surrounding women and their relationships and experiences but with absolutely nothing to do with:
suicide and ideation
pregnancy
childbirth
babies
death of children
fantasy
action
religion
Thank you to anyone who can work with this terribly specific list
