Description
Spanning nearly six decades, this novel traces the Pargiters—an upper-middle-class London family—as their lives unfold from the late nineteenth century into the eve of World War II. Through shifting perspectives and lyrical, time-saturated storytelling, it captures how memory, aging, and social change reshape love, ambition, and belonging. At its heart, the book is a meditation on time itself: not as a distant timeline, but as a living presence that can be felt in the smallest moments when we stay awake to the “now.” Virginia Woolf’s distinctive modernist style—intimate, rhythmic, and psychologically precise—turns family history into a profound exploration of consciousness, loss, and the fragile continuity of everyday life.
