A review by casparb
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

4.0

Perhaps there is something in rereading this novel within the space of 24hrs that better communicates immediacy & chaos.

It is fair to say Mrs Dalloway has endeared itself to me more than it once did. Possibly this is a side effect of reading a heap of essays on The Waste Land lately, such that I think I have become a little over-sensitive to symbols in literature.

I particularly loved the sky-writing scene! A wonderful symbol that blends awe and confusion.

Woolf's prose is always so tender. I have missed it since reading The Years.

Hope everyone is well :)
