Spanning five decades, The Years traces the lives, struggles, and evolving relationships of the Pargiter family. While the novel’s scope is epic, Virginia Woolf’s writing remains deeply personal and intimate.

Through its unique structure and profound insight, The Years offers a poignant meditation on memory, change, and the enduring bonds of family.

Published by Read & Co.
