[Vwoolf] Alison Bechdel Edition of To The Lighthouse

Thu May 4 11:15:22 EDT 2023

Oh, the poor child in marketing at Penguin who committed this error in the
email offering me digital access to the Bechdel edition:

*“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.” So begins To the
Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf’s masterful and highly relevant meditation on
memory, grief, the brutalities of war, and the tensions of domestic life.*
