The waves (Unabridged edition)

The Waves traces the lives of six friends from childhood to old age.

It was written when Virginia Woolf was at the height of her experimental powers, and she allows each character to tell their own story, through powerful, poetic monologues.

By listening to these voices struggling to impose order and meaning on their lives, we are drawn into a literary journey that stunningly reproduces the complex, confusing and contradictory nature of human experience.

It is read with affection and skill by Frances Jeater.
