Synopsis

'A brilliant fantasia of all Time's problems, age and youth, change and permanence, truth and illusion' The Times Literary Supplement

The Years is the story 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, as their Victorian upbringing gives way to a new world, where the rules of etiquette have shifted from the drawing room to the air-raid shelter. Virginia Woolf's penultimate novel is a celebration of the resilience of the individual amid time, change, life, death and renewal.

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Jeri Johnson
