Fiction & Literature; Classic fiction (pre c 1945)

It is 1880: after

visiting his mistress in the suburbs, Colonel Pargiter returns home to his

children and his dying wife. In a series of snapshots we meet all the

Pargiter siblings: twenty-year-old Eleanor, whose concern is to help the

poor; her younger sisters Milly, Delia and Rose; her brothers Morris, Martin

and Edward, who is at Oxford and in love with his cousin Kitty. As the years

unfold, the various threads of relation, history and personal experience get

woven into the tapestries of the characters’ lives, forming a larger canvas

that covers not only the story of a family, but that of two entire

generations.

The most ambitious of Woolf’s novels, and the last one to be published

during her lifetime, The Years is a work suffused with a haunting, melancholy

sense of time and history, and a stylistic tour de force.
