This was a whole lot more accessible than the waves and moved me to a certain extent. However if I come back to it when I’m a little older I think it’ll move me more. The writing was packed and beautiful and the characters were incredible vivid. I really felt it when Lily started screaming “Mrs Ramsay!” into nothing, this mixture of grief and anger is so raw in this novel. Beautiful.
