The Years

The last novel that the famous Modernist novelist Virginia Woolf published in her lifetime, 'The Years' was published in the year 1935. It traces the history of the genteel Pargiter family from the 1880s to the "present day" of the mid-1930s. The story focuses on the small private details of the characters' lives. Except for the first, each section takes place on a single day of its titular year, and each year is defined by a particular moment in the cycle of seasons.
