Night and Day | Virginia Woolf

#VirginiaBloomsberries

I feel quite disappointed that I'm only just getting around to her work this late in life. Thank goodness, I've started now.
Anyway, let's talk about Night and Day?

☕️ Did you enjoy Woolf's intricate examination of romantic entanglements in 1920s London?
☕️ Did you like her characters? Does anyone stand out?
☕️ Do you think Woolf captured the changing societal times of post war England?

AnishaInkspill I read this a few years back and enjoyed parts of it but if I read this again, I would enjoy it more as there are many scenes that I can recall better than other books. Knowing little about that historical time, I can imagine the journey both Mary and Katherine are true of that time. 5d
AllDebooks @AnishaInkspill I was completely surprised at how funny it was. Woolf sure does give good satire. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 5d
AllDebooks I've never come across such a fickle character as William. His constant dramas were exhausting. As for backup plans, he did remind me of Austen's Mr Collins a lot! 5d
AnishaInkspill @AllDebooks yeah, Woolf's sense of humour is a surprise, have you read her Flush: a biography? if not I won't say anything more and let you read it whenever you get a chance. 4d

Absolutely brilliant book.
His writing is poetic and conjures upsuch vivid images.
The two men are intricately portrayed, as is their relationship with each other and the world.
It'll stay with me a while...
