I’m glad I’ve read my first Virginia Wolf novel! The Waves is a beautifully written story about a group of friends as they move through life. I appreciated several parts of this book, and a couple times even stopped to take a picture of the passage. However, I don’t think Wolf’s writing style is for me. I found it difficult to get learn the characters and to keep track of what was happening. Every paragraph required you to really think about what you were reading and was a little too abstract for me.
