I don't know if it's a fault of my inattentive reading or of this book's Woolfian shared-mind narration style, but it took me a while to figure out that those three memoir chapters at the center of the book are little sketches of Alice, Stella, and Jove. Now we're back in the moody love triangle plot.

This book is a little willfully obtuse sometimes, but it's still very good, with some passages of special beauty.

For some reason this book feels very personal and specific to me, just as it did when I first tried to read it in late 2012.
