This collection presents two of Virginia Woolf’s most profound and innovative works, The Years and The Waves, showcasing her mastery of narrative form and deep exploration of human experience.
The Years, the last novel Woolf published during her lifetime, is a sweeping yet intimate portrayal of an extended family’s journey through fifty years of change and upheaval. Spanning generations, the novel captures the trials and tribulations of the Pargiter family, offering a unique approach by focusing on a single day in each chosen year.

Published in 1931, it is composed of a series of soliloquies from six distinct characters, interspersed with poetic third-person descriptions of a coastal landscape. Through this innovative narrative technique, Woolf delves into the concepts of self, individuality, and the interconnectedness of human experience.
Published by Read & Co.
