Faber have created a reading guide to one of the BBC’s ‘100 novels that shaped our world’, and the Guardian called ‘a modern classic’. The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath’s only novel, is partially based on Plath’s own life. It has been celebrated for its darkly funny and razor sharp portrait of 1950s society, and continues to reach new readers and sell millions of copies worldwide.
Reading Groups for Everyone will be changing to our new Book Club Hub on 2 April 2025. As well as offering a more inclusive and welcoming experience for reading groups, we will be expanding news and offers to include opportunities for leaders of children’s and young people’s book clubs. This is to support The Reading Agency’s mission of getting more people fired up about reading because everything changes when you read.

This year, the British Book Awards are celebrating their 35th anniversary, celebrating the writers, illustrators, and teams that bring each book to life.
