The Years

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the intimate lives of the Pargiter family, this novel spans fifty years from the 1880s to the mid-1930s, emphasizing personal experiences rather than grand historical events. Woolf artfully incorporates descriptions of the changing British weather, creating a vivid backdrop that often serves as a transition between character-focused sections. While the narrative captures the essence of life in London and the countryside, it rarely extends beyond Britain's borders, highlighting the characters' private worlds amidst the broader social context.
