Wonderful quick read! Poetic and romantic. A new side of Woolf. (Haunted House, only)
Update: 9/7/24
Discovering this wonderful collection of stories has much advanced my opinion of Woolf’s skill. Though some stories were just average, and number of them very good, there were four that stood out for me as being brilliant: Together and Apart; Moments of Being; The New Dress; and The Legacy. Overall, a delightful, stimulating, heartwarming read! And a must for shortstory fans
