DEAR GOD. AN INFURIATING READ. TOOK ME 5 MONTHS TO FINISH. Great book though. Interesting takes on gender throughout. I also enjoyed the surreal passage of time and place throughout the book. Unfortunately, like much of Woolf's work it is incredibly racist. I enjoy her experimental style but this one was a little bit too loosey goosey and descriptive in places, as well as the frequent racism made this book difficult to read. Has historical and literary interest though, so in those regards, was worth a read.

This is not a book for light reading. The writing is quite dense with little to no dialogue. There also isn't a lot of action, but there is a lot of pondering. It starts out as a story written in biography format and then meanders into a stream of consciousness type of thing.
