Mrs Dalloway is a novel by Virginia Woolf that details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional high-society woman in post-First World War England. It is one of Woolf's best-known novels.
As someone who gets bored easily (I’m recently showing more signs of ADHD in my late 20s) I forced myself to bring the book Mrs Dalloway for my trip. While waiting 5 hrs I figured why not find a way to read more. So I listen to this while reading the book! It’s more fun and her voice- I must say (like everyone else can surely agree) is as if she is channelling Virginia. I love this 💙 Thanks for helping me fall in love with books again 🥹💙
The person reading this sounds like she is channeling Woolf directly. This is one of my favorite audio recordings of any book. If anyone has the last three hours, please share the love.
I know it's been a year but ill drop the link to the full audio here for anyone else looking (Skip to 4:01:30 to pick up where this leaves off) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D_0-gxP_e0U.html
It's tragic that mental illness was so misunderstood in Woolf's day. We can only speculate about how many more masterpieces she might have created had it not been for her suicide.😔
I'm having an exam on this on tuesday, and I thought I could make things a little easier for myself by listening while reading, so I don't think you quite understand just HOW annoyed I am that this was just HALF of the book -.-'
It always surprises me and makes me upset thinking about how she suffered the same with Septimus and later on they shared the same fate and they both committed suicide.
