me ha costado leerme este libro y no sé si es porque woolf es una autora que me cuesta leer (ya me leí una habitación propia y aunque me costó también, la disfruté un montón) o si quizás simplemente tenía un bloqueo de lectora.

de cualquier forma me alegra que haya podido terminármelo. me ha gustado a pesar de sentir que no he captado del todo la trama del libro

I thought this was a lot easier to understand compared to other classics I've read, while still having a classic feel to it. I thought the story was interesting, it lost me a bit at the end and it just felt like a lot of words and no relation. I think the book had some great thoughts and quotes, I don't think I cared for Orlando as a character but it still intrigued me. I really enjoyed the times when she would address the reader directly and I could tell she really cared about the book.
