The Years

The Years is the story of three generations of the Pargiter family— their intimacies and estrangements, anxieties and triumphs— mapped out against the bustling rhythms of London's streets during the first decades of the twentieth century. Growing up in a Victorian household, the Pargiter children learn to find their footing in an evolving world. Virginia Woolf's penultimate novel explores the resilience of the individual self across time, generation, and class.
