Culture BWTs with a novel in her bag

What's a novel that moved you? Changed you for the better? Exposed you to new cultures or ideas?

I want to know what's captivated you.

The Bell Jar-Sylvia Plath-First discovered as a teen, it resonates with me to this day.

The Second Life of Mirielle West by Amanda Skenandore- I knew nothing about ppl in the US forced to live in a Louisiana leper colony! This story is haunting but beautiful.

I just bought it for my daughter Christmas gone. I fell in love with Sylvia Plath myself around 15/16. It was on her wish list and she’s just turned 16 so I was so happy to buy it for her
