The unique writing style

It’s one of the most hardest books i’ve read in a long time due to the writing style! But i love it so much

Exquisite

I have become a Virginia Woolf fan, and this work does not disappoint. If there is a bit of a downer, it’s the way that the weariness of life comes through late in the book. Otherwise, Woolf’s intimate and detailed descriptions of moment by moment reveal the profundity of her perception. Perhaps her premature demise was due to her absolute intensity of being. Maybe it was too much. At any rate, one must be grateful that she left the world what she did. The narrator of this volume, Frances Jeater, is a true artist, and brings Woolf to life in the here and now.

Enthralling

Beautifully read to capture the cadence and imagery of Virginia Woolf’s lyrical and eloquent writing. Magical and transformative. The reader bobs on the surface and dives deeply into the prose and interwoven stories

human innermost feelings.

Profoundly sensitive, so much that one can see one's reflection on it. Echoes of a person's common concerns and afflictions. Provocative in a way that it makes us confront life and death in our very existence.

Just amazing
