Author : Virginia Woolf
What is it about : Set in the 18-19th Century, this story followed the fantastical journey of love and adventure of a "person", as he traveled from London to Istanbul and back and on his way, transformed himself to a woman who experienced altered and warped viewpoints on society and peoples around her.
Some thoughts after having read the book : My attempt in having a go at reading a "Modernist"'s production and for all intents and purposes, I was far from succeeding in gaining an inch of ground. In a nutshell, way beyond me in terms of literary standards and my own interests; it was just good to make an effort. that's all.
Would I recommend this book to you : This book could not have been my "lonely island" book for pleasure and leisure; the book could only be one for intense Literature classes where the reader had to do homework and preferably a good teacher should be nearby to explain the ideas and guide the discussions.
