The Years (collected Works of Woolf: 2022 Edition)

About This Novel
Published in 1937, this book was Woolf's last novel published during her lifetime, and it was also her best-selling work during her lifetime. This book tells the history of the Padgett family for more than fifty years, from the unpredictable spring of 1880 to a summer night dance in the 1930s. The personal lives of the characters are placed on the stage, through dialogue and psychological activities, while various historical events serve as the background, looming. Along with the characters in the book, we grow, lose, are moved, regret, endure, and are heartbroken. Completely different from the author's previous novel "The Waves", this book focuses on the description and presentation of reality and deliberately downplays fantasy and poetry. Behind this effort is Woolf's ambition and courage to innovate in her prime years of creation.
