Beschreibung

The Years follows the Pargiter family from 1880 into the twentieth century, moving through rooms, streets, parties, illness, memory, war and social transformation.

In late Victorian London, Mrs Pargiter lies dying while the household turns around small rituals, secrets and unspoken feeling. As the years pass, Eleanor, Rose, Martin and the wider family move through adulthood, political change, generational loss and altered freedoms. Woolf builds not around a single plot but around time itself, showing how history enters drawing rooms, bodies, conversations and recollection.

With an introduction by Susan Hill, The Years is Virginia Woolf's most popular novel from her lifetime, a powerful modernist family saga about London, class, women's lives, memory and the passing of an era. It is ideal for readers looking for accessible Woolf, literary classics and fiction that catches consciousness in motion.
