r/VirginiaWoolf

I’ve read To the lighthouse and it absolutely changed my life. I don’t want to get into too much detail, but the feeling that what was going on was not as important as how the characters lived through it is something I’m chasing now.

I’ve seen many recommendations for The waves so I decided to read it.

I’m 50% into the book and it’s not clicking AT ALL for me.

What I’m I missing?

Or is Lighthouse just a really underrated gem?

Looking for any books that you feel come close in how beautiful they are with language and feeling. I've highlighted something on probably every page in this book. For reference i've read virginia's other big novels and i've tried clarice lispector but it doesnt really have the same effect on me

I'm looking for a letter Virginia Woolf wrote to Julian Bell while he was in Wuhan China. The letter refers to his connection with the Cambridge Apostles. I saw a reference to the letter in an article, but the article only cites The Letters of Virginia Woolf and does not specify a date or page number. The letter is likely in the 5th or 6th volume of the Letters of Virginia Woolf. I do not have a copy at the moment (waiting for the library to get one in!)

Thanks for any help!
