significantly more conventional and easier to follow than "The Waves" but nowhere as spacy as either, still beautifully written and gives a good sense of how everything looked and felt in interwar-era Britain

around here it gets as incredibly beautifully written as I remember "The Waves" being, where it starts switching perspectives between the various main characters (not just Clarissa Dalloway herself) and throws in visionary experiences and dream sequences that are more fantastic and otherworldly than anything most fantasy and science-fiction authors could dream up with
