Woolf's Best Work of Fiction submitted by smeelay on August 18, 2016, 2:30pm I could read this book again and again. I'm a huge Woolf fan and this is by far my favorite of her fiction. It reads like a beautiful poem.

Wonderful, but difficult submitted by woolf.stan on June 30, 2022, 9:20pm This is Woolf's most poetic novel -- in fact, it's like one giant poem! It's so dense, but worth reading if you can manage it

Beautifully Written submitted by APluss on July 11, 2023, 9:15pm Not my favorite of her books, but it's definitely her most poetic and lush.
