A book of Virginia Woolf’s I hadn’t heard of until I came across an old Penguin 50s copy of it in a vintage bookshop - I loved this book. Her writing is always angelic, but the slow, beautiful prose of this book was a beautiful read.

I think it could have been a lot better if she had the opportunity to edit it, still a great story and beautifully written :)

My favourite Woolf so far - something about the flow of the novel, both meandering and purposeful, both calming and manic. Something about it reminds me of Chekhov's The Seagull - the act of the play (within the play within the play) in the outdoors, the sun setting, the bushes rustling, the gramophone chuffing and ticking and planes shooting across the sky in formation before the war has even begun.
