Virginia Woolf's Unusual Style of Writing

Recently in class, while discussing the scene with the people gathering around the regal-looking car, I made a comment in class about who was narrating, mistaking it for Clarissa when it was really Woolf. I find that Virgina Woolf's style of writing can make it hard for the reader to keep track of whose voice they're hearing. In a traditional book, there would be a new paragraph for each  speaker. However, this is not true in this case, making it easier to mix up who is speaking or thinking. In this aspect, Mrs. Dalloway is very similar to The Mezzanine in that, although Baker does divide the book into chapters, the content of the novel flows together very well and is very connected throughout the entire novel. This makes it necessary to sometimes read more slowly or carefully making sure to catch all details for when any part of the plot (speaker, setting, etc.) is changing. Although Woolf's writing style can be difficult it adds dimension to the book and makes you want to keep reading.
