The Waves
by Virginia Woolf
Publisher: Hogarth Press 1931
ISBN/ASIN: 0156949601
Number of pages: 324
Description:
One of Woolf's most experimental novels, The Waves presents six characters in monologue - from morning until night, from childhood into old age - against a background of the sea. The result is a glorious chorus of voices that exists not to remark on the passing of events but to celebrate the connection between its various individual parts.
