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.

Ho vaig llegir quan estava a segon de batxillerat perque era lectura obligatòria en una assignatura optativa. Vaig trobar que el relat tenia un ritme molt lent.
