 I have struggled to get through Woolf before due to her writing style and overall lack of plot of her works. However, Orlando is the first Woolf book that these things have really come together well for me. Her prose is gorgeous, my favourite extract has to be
the childbirth scene

While the writing is gorgeous and it is an incredible character study, the casual racism cannot be ignored.
