Years

About This Novel

"The Years" is Woolf's last novel published during her lifetime and her best-selling novel. It spans more than 50 years from 1880 to the mid-1930s and tells the history of three generations of the Padgett family. Although it covers such a long period, the book focuses on some aspect of each character's personal life. Except for the first chapter, each chapter tells what happened on a certain day that year from the perspective of a different character. Historical events loom as the background, and the stories of three generations of the Padgett family become a microcosm of the external world, running through the author's thoughts on survival and the meaning of life.
