Het eerste deel is voor de onervaren Woolf lezer even ‘erin komen’ door de vele namen van familie, vrienden en kennissen, Bloomsbury group etc. Naast de verklarende noten in het boek, kan het helpen om wat meer informatie te zoeken. Maar als je er eenmaal ‘in’ zit, is dat het zeker waard. De autobiografische teksten staan vol met scherpe karakteranalyses, sarcasme, beeldende en zintuiglijke beschrijvingen en overdenkingen over de aard van herinneringen en memoires. Een bijzondere inkijk in het leven van Virginia en de mensen om haar heen, en van de moeilijke momenten waar het gezin doorheen is gegaan.
