Mrs Dalloway, always giving parties to cover the silence
Did it matter then, she asked herself, walking towards Bond Street, did it matter that she must inevitably cease completely? All this must go on without her; did she resent it; or did it not become consoling to believe that death ended absolutely?

the « imagine if roles were reversed » thing is tiring and not well exploited, it only goes so far and isn’t a groundbreaking plot idea to begin with so idk, to me this was extremely uneventful

i find it extremely hard to rate memoirs because who am i to rate someone’s life story ? i had a hard time reading this, not because of the nature of the story but because i found it uneventful at first. then everything shifted from the moment when she starts going to college. very emotional read, found myself fully sobbing at many different points. related a lot too.
