Night And Day

Katharine Hilbery is beautiful and privileged but
uncertain of her future. She must choose between becoming
engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William Rodney and her
dangerous attraction to the passionate Ralph Denham. As
she struggles to decide the lives of two other women –
womens rights activist Mary Datchet and Katharines mother
Margaret struggling to weave together the documents events
and memories of her own fathers life into a biography –
impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing
consequences. Virginia Woolfs delicate second novel is
both a love story and a social comedy yet it also subtly
undermines these traditions questioning a womans role and
the very nature of experience.
