I sincerely hope that Ruth will narrate more stories in her future, because I for one will always listen.īeing a newcomer to the world of Virginia Woolf.

Ruth is a precious gift to the world and must be protected at all costs.

Her voice is music to one’s ears, a lullaby. Her tone and manner of storytelling is simply soothing and enchanting and everything just seems right with the world when Ruth is narrating. Ruth is a master of performances and knows how to narrate a story with the right amount of pauses, perfect speed, and incredibly accurate and believable character voices. In the beginning I feared that the slow pace of the storyline was going to bore me, but I quickly became attached to Woolfs’ writing style and the characters intrigued me, always leaving me wanting more. I have to admit I had never read anything like ‘To The Lighthouse’ before but I must say I really rather enjoyed it. 232.Ruth Wilson Should Narrate Everything - The World Would Be A Better Place For It Virginia Woolf, ‘The New Biography’ (1927), Collected Essays, vol.
