petite_ecrivaine 's review for:
The Waves
by Virginia Woolf
challenging
emotional
inspiring
mysterious
slow-paced
A book where every phrase is poetry.
I have never read a novel written so beautifully and complex. The narrative of the characters is unique set against a more or less simple coming of age plot.
My favourite character by far was Neville.

« For this moment, this one moment, we are together. I press you to me. Come, pain, feed on me. Bury your fangs in my flesh. Tear me asunder. I sob, I sob. »
The intensity of the emotions in this book…simply amazing. I want to learn how to use words like she does.

On the negative side, though, as someone who isn’t a native English speaker it was a rather difficult book to read at times. It demanded a lot of concentration and I don’t think I caught 100% of the whole connections and character development.
