This book is INCREDIBLE. It’s experimental, and you have to REALLY pay attention to it, but it is sooo well done. I honestly think Virginia Woolf may be my favorite author at this point because I’m just obsessed with the way she writes. The prose in this book was just beautiful.

All of these characters are so interesting and distinct too! Even characters, like Louis, that would probably annoy me to no end if I ever met them in real life were so interesting to me! Each character has their own unique story, personality, and motivations, and they are all represented so well throughout the novel.

Truly one of the best books ever written!
