Night and Day was originally published in 1919. Set in Edwardian London, Woolf explores the intricacies of love and social conventions through the lives of two contrasting characters, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet. The narrative weaves through their relationships, aspirations, and the shifting dynamics of a society in flux. Woolf's keen observation and introspective prose offer a nuanced exploration of gender roles and the pursuit of personal fulfillment. Against a backdrop of societal expectations, Night and Day unfolds as a compelling portrait of individuals navigating the complexities of love, identity, and self-discovery in the early 20th century.
