Ble på ekte influenced av kusina mi Siri som leste denne nå nettopp! Denne handler liksom om ingenting og allting på én gang. Elsker skrivemåten til Woolf! Og nå er alt jeg vil å dra «to the lighthouse» 😊

Not sure if I was just too dumb for this book, but I could not follow it at all. It’s told in stream of consciousness and jumped into the heads of all the characters so much that I could not follow who was thinking or what was going on. I thought maybe I could keep up if I kept detailed notes, but just doesn’t sound like work I wanted to put in. If anyone could explain this book to me, that would be helpful.

Too many time shifts
Difficult to follow and unsure of the message. Love, fear,death? Do we really know others? Do we accept all facets of those close to us? Not sure what the ending is for these characters but it is not what it appears to be.

A good classic but I just don’t think it was for me. All and all, I did enjoy it and look forward to reading more of Virginia Woolf’s work in the future.
