A work of haunting power and beauty, Virginia Woolf's magnificent 1931 novel, The Waves, is perhaps the most challenging and experimental work of her career. Told through the voices of six characters as they move from childhood to old age, The Waves is not only a fascinating experiment in narrative monologue but also a profound and emotionally resonant story about time¿s passing and the desire for harmony in the midst of life's chaos.

  • The single most extraordinary book ever written by the author. Its form is absolutely perfect, it sounds like pure music. The content is life itself, seen from all its possible angles.

  • I never managed to get "into" it, I found it dull, repetitive and boring. Well written, of course, but I definitely will not be re-reading it any time soon.
