“We had to read this book over the summer for our College English class. I really loved this book but at first I found it very complex and difficult to read. I had never read anything by Virginia Woolf, so it was obviously a very new and different experience for me because I wasn't used to her style of writing. The book takes place in the course of one day for one society house-wife in England, and even though now a day you see many books that take place in one day, it's cool to think about how revolutionary this genre was when she wrote this book many years ago. I think the themes of the book, which include gender roles, the effect of war, love, sexuality, and many other things, really make you think about your own life, and the genre of the novel in general.”
