Synopsis
With an introduction by susan hill 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.
