Loved this a lot, which surprised me. I mean I read A Room of One‰ЫЄs Own which didn‰ЫЄt do much for me and Mrs. Dalloway which I only really liked because it reminded me of Lord Peter Wimsey, but then I don‰ЫЄt think I paid much attention. (I also read Orlando but that was ages ago and I remember nothing except Tilda Swinton on the cover.) Is it crazy to say that here Woolf reminds me a lot of Thomas Pynchon? Fewer songs and dirty jokes but a similar swinging swirling narration through characters and perspectives, with oodles of compassion and understanding and more sentiment than you might think. I wish I had read this Virginia Woolf sooner.
