I had tried twice to read The Voyage Out and never managed to complete it. Listening to the dramatisation brought the characters to life for me. It was intriguing and at length emotionally engaging. To the Lighthouse is a superb rendering of Woolf at her absolute best.
Between the Acts is fascinating because, while being at entirely different level, it runs strangely parallel to Benson's Mapp and Lucia. Here is the quirky English pageant in all its glory but between the acts the audience from the Big House is revealed in all its emotional and social complexity. Of course the most poignant resonance is that this is Woolf's last novel. By the time it lay on the publisher's desk (Leonard Woolf) she had filled her pockets with stones.

But please sort out typo in the associated info -‘Kristen’ Scott Thomas?
Also it’s difficult to navigate a 13 hour collection without knowing which chapters relate to which of the stories.
Excellent, but give chapter info and sort typos
