The years - Virginia Woolf

Discover the most popular of Woolf's books during her lifetime
- a powerful portrait of a family coping with changes wrought by the new
twentieth century.


The Years follows the lives of the Pargiters, a
large middle-class London family, from an uncertain spring in 1880 to a party
on a summer evening in the 1930s. We see them each endure and remember
heart-break, loss, radical change and stifling conformity, marriage and
regret. Written in 1937, this was the most popular of Virginia Woolf's novels
during her lifetime, and is a powerful indictment of 'Victorianism' and its
values.
