Through introspection and introspective narratives, Woolf explores the complexities of human consciousness, the passage of time, and the fleeting moments that define our existence. As the characters grapple with their desires and uncertainties, the novel invites readers into a world of introspection, symbolism, and poetic prose, making it a timeless and enchanting work of literature.
I was looking forward to reading this book for our book club as I had never read any books by Virginia Woolf. I couldn’t get through it, though I tried. Her stream of consciousness style was not for me, though this may be oversimplifying my thoughts. I felt this must be a brilliant book on some level, but it could not reach me. It couldn’t touch me or even brush by me. I reread sentences over and over and just felt like I had read something foreign that would never penetrate no matter how much I tried.
