The essay lays bare the woman artist’s struggle for a voice, since throughout history she has been denied the social & economic independence assumed by men.

Woolf’s prescription is clear: if a woman is to find creative expression equal to a man’s, she must have an independent income, & a room of her own. This is both an acute analysis & a spirited rallying cry; it remains surprisingly resonant & relevant in the 21st century.

The novel explores these issues more personally, through the character of Rachel Vinrace, a young woman whose ‘voyage out’ to South America opens up powerful encounters with her fellow-travellers, men & women.

As she begins to understand her place in the world, she finds the happiness of love, but also sees its brute power. Woolf has a sharp eye for the comedy of English manners in a foreign milieu; but the final undertow of the novel is tragic as, in some of her finest writing, she calls up the essential isolation of the human spirit.

Books Classic Romance Books It's never too late to fall in love... Caro Swanson has taken a job in a remote part of Scotl&. She’s answered an ad in The Lady: being a companion to an elderly gentleman who lives in a country estate could be perfect! Surely it's time to make a change & do something different for a while? The fact that she may also see Alec, the young man who she met some years previously & who she has always thought of as her ‘one who got away’, is of course purely incidental. Soon Caro is falling in love
