    yes, I absolutely adore it...I'm currently re-reading it after reading Mrs Dalloway and it's so much better - it was great the first time but now...the two books together are so intoxicatingly rich....

    I don't think I've read it, but I have heard of it...I'm sure I have, what's the gist of the story?

    Read it, did not like it too much... tis alright, but... hmm... I couldn't really relate as much to the characters as I do in other books. Practically every book captures me completely... this one, not so much.

    I loved both the book and the movie. I got goose bumps when they showed her drowning herself in the River Ouse. I got the same feeling when I visited her house as a teenager in Sussex, before I knew that she had drowned herself near by. Definitley some unsettled spirits in the air.
