If you enjoy Virginia Woolf's writing you will enjoy this book. Very little occurs plot-wise but we follow the thoughts and memories of Lady Slane as she reminisces about her life. This has a strong feminist angle, as one of the main concepts Lady Slane grapples with is how her life would've turned out if she hadn't married her husband. Throughout her life she played the role of the perfect wife, and suppressed her own thoughts and personality for the sake of her husband and his career. Now her husband is dead, she finally has the freedom to live and think for herself. This is a gorgeously written novel, relatively fast-paced, that I would thoroughly recommend.
