The fact The Bell Jar is written from the first person point of view makes the apprehension and pain more relatable to the reader.

I recommend this book to anyone keen on African books that cover the themes of rape, child marriage and domestic violence.

I believe that Ukamaka wanted this to be an awakening and a drive for revolution, to make us angry to stand up and challenge the way everything is.
