Very “yellow wallpaper” esque with lots of tangents, metaphors and analogy’s. You get flung into different people’s minds sporadically throughout the book. Short yet very dense, no chapter breaks.

Really amazing book!! Especially the Audrey version which, as per usual, helped me read a classic that I don't think I've would've understood all too well otherwise.

How does Woolf do this? Highly recommend reading the introductions/info on the book after completing the novel for extra appreciation

"She wanted support. Not that she was weak; but she wanted support."

"So she made him think. (But he was not in love.)"

I appreciated it, I liked it at times, but I didn't love it (except the parts including Septimus; simply superb).

"They went to Hampton Court on top of a bus, and they were perfectly happy. All the little red and yellow flowers were out on the grass, like floating lamps he said, and talked and chattered and laughed, making up stories. Suddenly he said, 'Now we will kill ourselves,' when they were standing by the river[...]"

"It might be possible, Septimus thought, looking at England from the train window, as they left Newhaven; it might be possible that the world itself is without meaning."
