This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Virginia Woolf is an incredible writer. This is a beautiful novel following the lives of 6 friends over their lifetimes. She touches on identity, grief, friendship, love, the mortifying ordeal of what it is to be known, and what it means to be a human.

The style of Stream of Consciousness narration can feel like hard work sometimes, but it's well worth the effort and pays off enormously.
