Night and Day





'Woolf was an innovator who redefined the novel and pointed the way towards its future possibilities.' Jeanette Winterson

WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY ANGELICA GARNETT AND JO SHAPCOTT

In Night and Day, Virginia Woolf portrays her elder sister Vanessa in the person of Katharine Hilbery - the gifted daughter of a distinguished literary family, trapped in an environment which will not allow her to express herself.

Looking at questions raised by love and marriage, Night and Day paints an unforgettable picture of the London intelligensia before the First World War, with psychological insight, compassion and humour.
