A review by aegagrus
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

4.75

Re-read for class. In brief, what strikes me about this book is that it's both very polished and very raw -- Woolf is a great stylist, and elegantly describes the inner lives of her characters, but there's always something jagged and ungovernable, but deeply true, right below the surface. A story of the ways in which we deal with loneliness and isolation in its various forms, but even more so, a story about the incalculable and almost metaphysical threads between us all; about togetherness. A true classic.
