I did find it quite hard to read at times but Woolf’s inventiveness in this novel is incredible and I love how many important topics she discusses and how hilarious some of the scenes are.

This book is for everyone who feels like they don't fit in the time and society that they live in. I'll definitely read it again
leer_amor's review against another edition
It was really racist. Did not expect that from Virginia Woolf and Im extremely disappointed. Ive always loved her prose and the lyrical way she writes but this was such a diversion from that. This book is scene as a queer classic but the extent of the racism was disgusting and it does not at all read like Woolf’s other novels. She was one of my favorite classic authors and now I feel like I have to reconsider my estimation of her and her works.
