Rob Strick answers “The only novel I've read by Virginia Woolf...”

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?

To be honest i put it away out of frustration or maybe even more, my insecurity of not understanding the language. Now i restarted reading the book but with the first 15 pages using g translate as assist. I found out its just a bit of old language and the meaning catches up with the whole sentence/s. The book has about 250 pages and for me its a slow read. I might say it feels bigger, it could be 500 pages in time of reading but its still worth a lot and im only on page 56 , oh sorry 112 (haha)(less)
