This novel is an extraordinarily poignant evocation of a lost happiness that lives on in the memory. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever.In this, her most autobiographical novel, Virginia Woolf captures the intensity of childhood longing and delight, and the shifting complexity of adult relationships. From an acute awareness of transcience, she creates an enduring work of art.
Honestly this book simply fits into a genre I didn't know I loved, but I do and oh so much. The flow of the writing as thoughts through a person's mind gave us the intimacy with a character as well as an attachment to the characters as if we were them. Absolutely loved it and looking forward to reading more of Woolf's books.
