The Years by Virginia Woolf
5.0
Lovely and masterful. At first it took me a while to get into, due to the small shifting povs, but then the sections got larger and it became easier to follow. In fact, the first time I enjoyed reading the book was when the pov changed to Edward and Kitty's time at Oxford, a longer, more defined, section. However, the moment I really fell in love with the novel was the long chapter about Sara and Martin's day in London - it's absolutely lovely, and Sara is a brilliant character. The book is just filled with great passages and a dreamy atmosphere which, coupled with Woolf's writing - an amazingly hypnotic one that rises and falls like a melody - completely grabs you and draws you in.
