Woolf's writing is very poetic. The book is like one long uninterrupted shot in a movie, that follows one person after another, switching as their paths intersect. The writing swirls around, surrounding and lifting each character before spooling off in another direction.
Moderate: Suicide, Colonisation, and Classism
Minor: Mental illness, Medical trauma, and Schizophrenia/Psychosis
