Voyage out

This acclaimed work marked the debut of one of the 20th century's most brilliant and important authors. Virginia Woolf's captivating exploration of a young woman's growing self-awareness parallels a shipboard journey to South America with an inner quest. An accessible introduction to Woolf's writing, the book was acclaimed by E. M. Forster as "a strange, tragic, inspired novel . . . as poignant as anything in modern fiction."
