A review by mescalero_at_bat
Night and Day by Virginia Woolf
5.0
what a beautiful book! virginia woolf seems unparalleled in her ability to chart the complexity of human emotion, its influences and origins.
in this work, as you may have read, woolf writes a jane austen novel, but set in london at the end of the elizabethan period (a period far more restricted by morals and ethics). in doing so, she lightly satirizes austen, and probes at the societal values of romance and career.
as always, woolf's command of the english language is virtuosic. an absolute gem - once i was 100 pages in, i couldn't put this one down.
