“I really wanted to enjoy this book. But I have a hard time with Virginia Woolfs writing, I kept reading the same line over and over, then going back to re-read and discovering it was not me reading it over and over, just Woolf repeating herself. If she would have taken out the repeating lines the book would have been half the length. It is also hard to figure out who head you are in, you think Clarissa is talking but then she is thinking about the Far East, and after a paragraph or so you realize that it is Peter thinking. I am not an unintellegent reader, I minor in Literature, but unless you are reading this for a class, or you like to read books twice to get the jist of it, I would not recommend. It was a hard book to digest and I don;t think that it was worth the struggle of trying to figure it out.”
