The most interesting thing about this book to me was how masterfully Virginia Woolf had bandaged the entire narrative with multiple perspectives of London and Mrs Dalloway. I also love how London is an ever evolving creature in this book. A character in its own right. The wonderful psychological annotations made throughout the prose bring out the personal internal journeys of all the characters so beautifully to life.
I would’ve rated it higher had the book not possessed a constant undertone of looking down on India.
P.S. this is what a stream of consciousness looks like, Drake, kindly take notes.
