“We are cut, we are fallen. We are become part of that unfeeling universe that sleeps when we are at our quickest and burns red when we lie asleep”

Virginia Woolf's The Waves is a lyrical and introspective exploration of the human experience, delving into the complexities of time, memory and identity. Through the shifting perspectives of six distinct voices, Woolf traces the inner lives of her characters as they navigate the emotional currents of love, ambition and existential reflection. With its fluid structure and poetic prose, The Waves offers a rich and immersive study of consciousness, capturing the ephemeral nature of life. Published in 1931, this masterpiece of modernist literature remains an enduring reflection on the fragility of the self and the inevitable passage of time.

“The Waves in the novel is multi-faceted, like the seven-sided flowers in the middle of the table, with a different perspective from each side.”

–Medium

“In form, to be sure, "The Waves" is possibly original in fiction--it is told entirely in soliloquies.”

–The New York Times

She is considered one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century, and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
