I really struggled with this. I've been meaning to read some of Woolf's fiction ever since I read A Room Of One's Own but have always been intimidated and it seems I was right to be. I thought I was prepared for her stream of consciousness style of writing but I found it kind of exhausting. I had to listen to the audiobook while also reading along to keep track of what was happening. There were moments where I was invested and enjoying it but they didn't last long. I think her style just isn't for me which is a shame.
