jerryx29 's review for:
Mrs. Dalloway
by Virginia Woolf
challenging
reflective
slow-paced
A difficult, disorenting, deeply reflective read. "Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf fascinated me with how it kept on jumping between perspectives every other paragraph, seamlessly transitioning between this or that character and with its musings on aging, sanity, love and death.
I wish I could say I entirely loved this, but I'm not sure. There were definitely many times when I totally lost the thread, times that frustrated and bored me. And yet, this chaotic narration makes sense in such a stream-of-consciousness piece of writing, so I do admire yet.
What I know for sure is that there are passages in this book that will echo in my mind for a long time, and for that alone, it was worth it.
