Synopsis

‘I am made and remade continually.’

After first meeting by the sea as children, the lives of six friends – Bernard, Neville, Louis, Jinny, Susan and Rhoda – intertwine from childhood to middle age. Divided into nine sections, the novel delves into their lives, exposing their achievements and failures as they question the meaning of life itself.

Woolf’s rich poetic language reveals each character’s aspirations, triumphs and regrets in a unique monologue style.

About The Virginia Woolf Collection:
