Jessica asked this question about Orlando:
The only novel I've read by Virginia Woolf is 'Mrs Dalloway' and, while I liked the story itself and understand why it's a classic, I didn't like the writing at all. It was difficult and tiring to follow and I had to focus on it so much that I couldn't relax and enjoy the story. Is 'Orlando' written in the same way as 'Mrs Dalloway'? If not, how is it different?
David Hambling No, it's a lightweight frippery of a novel, an airy candyfloss creation of whimsy and wit. However, there is no 'story' as such to follow,…moreNo, it's a lightweight frippery of a novel, an airy candyfloss creation of whimsy and wit. However, there is no 'story' as such to follow,(less)
