Night and Day is new to Modern Classics.

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—women’s rights activist Mary Datchet and Katharine’s mother, struggling to weave together the documents, events and memories of her father’s life into a biography—impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing consequences.

Virginia Woolf’s light, delicate second novel is both a love story and a social comedy, yet it also subtly undermines these traditions, questioning a woman’s role and the very nature of experience.

Night and Day by Virginia Woolf is often praised for its exploration of the complexities of personal relationships and the societal expectations of women in the early 20th century.
