‘Cleverness was silly. One must say simply what one felt.
“But I do not know,” said Peter Walsh, “what I feel.” ‘
Virginia Woolf is so good at writing thoughts - she just captures the drifting of the mind so perfectly. this book was so simple and different, following the characters’ thoughts and memories through a single day. there’s something so tender and human about the writing in this book, so full of ordinary contradictions and mundane excitement.
