This was a challenge. But one that felt necessary and was ultimately rewarding. This seems like a book to read and re-read at different life stages.

Virginia Woolf is the original thought daughter I fear. does that make her the thought mother? i’m going to say something i never say… the character i resonated with the most was a man (Bernard). the conversations on the passage of time and the individual v. the group were just phenomenal. took me a min to get used to the structure but pushing through was worth it because i don’t think this book will ever leave my mind.
