Excellent and strangely timely in the sense that we are living in a time that we are working through the dichotomy of life before and after the pandemic. In the book, before and after World War I.
I feel like this is going to be a book I revisit annually and will write a full review after a second reading.

Second book of Woolf’s I’ve started (other was Room of One’s Own) and honestly was so bored and could not connect with anyone. It’s just her writing style. Oh well.

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.”
3,5/5 stars. This well-known book is poetical and very beautifully written, however it is a bit difficult to get into because of its peculiar and complex story-telling. I would still recommend though, I love melancholic books.
"She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.”
