A review by oftheglade
The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf
3.75
I think I was expecting more plot than this, and the threads felt very loose at the end. However I really enjoyed the stream of consciousness style that Woolf developed from this book and if this is considered one of her weaker works, I’m looking forward to reading the others immensely.
I related a lot to Helen and I liked her as a protagonist, her changing moods and the way she was so very herself, content with her life and her choices compared to many of the other women. I liked Rachel for her indecision and lack of content, and her musings on how you’re meant to know a feeling is a feeling of you’ve never felt it before. The men I was less interested in but I felt that Woolf was too.
Lots of very good quotes from this that I hope stay highlighted on my library ebook copy of the book!
