About this listen
'I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you're everything that exists; the reality of everything.'
Set in the early twentieth century, Night and Day is a radiant exploration of love, identity and happiness.
Published in 1919, Woolf's early novel unfolds in Edwardian London, where Katherine Hilbery, the granddaughter of a celebrated poet, navigates questions of marriage, independence and intellectual freedom. Her forthright acquaintance, Mary Datchet, a suffragist committed to political change, carries a contrasting vision of life and love, and her opinions throw Katherine's choices into sharp relief. While more traditional in form than Woolf's later works, Night and Day reveals her emerging mastery of psychological depth and subtle irony. Beneath its surface of domestic comedy lies a profound meditation on the shifting roles of women, the complexities of desire, and the delicate balance between convention and self-discovery.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
