A Penguin Vitae Edition
The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women.

This was quite possibly one of the most thought-provoking and interesting books I've ever read. I will admit it took me a little while to get into it. I initially struggled with the biographical style Woolf employed and had to put the book down fir a good while, hence the docked star. However once i was back into it, i finished it in a day. I do have to celebrate this book mostly due to how happy this book made me whilst reading it. Its joyful and romantic description of Orlando's world in turn gave me a far greater appreciation of my own surroundings and experiences, which i shall be forever grateful for. Overall a very good book, just a bit challenging to jump straight into.
Una habitación propia me pareció un libro brillante. Virginia Woolf tiene una forma de escribir llena de sensibilidad y con tanta inteligencia que te hace pensar muchísimo, y mientras leía me replanteé mil cosas sobre la historia, las oportunidades y lo que significa ser mujer y tener libertad, reflejando de forma tan profunda cómo el mundo ha tratado y sigue tratando a las mujeres.Terminé el libro con una mezcla de admiración, enojo, inspiración y una enorme gratitud hacia esta autora por haber escrito algo tan necesario y tan adelantado a su tiempo.Sinceramente, creo que todas las mujeres deberíamos leer este libro al menos una vez en la vida, porque te despierta, te inspira y te deja con una sensación muy fuerte de querer tener tu propio espacio, tu voz y tu independencia. Me encantó, y sin duda se queda entre mis lecturas favoritas. Esta autora no decepciona, y espero poco a poco poder leer todos sus libros.
