Katharine Hilbery is beautiful and privileged but uncertain of her future. She must choose between becoming engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William, and her dangerous attraction to the lower-class Ralph. As she struggles to decide, the lives of two other women - womenP#39;s rights activist Mary Datchet and KatharineP#39;s mother, struggling to weave together the documents, events and memories of her fatherP#39;s life into a biography - impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing consequences. Virginia WoolfP#39;s light, delicate second novel is both a love story and a social comedy, yet it also subtly undermines these traditions, questioning a womanP#39;s role and the very nature of experience.
