Summary
The Voyage Out is Virginia Woolf's haunting tale about a naïve young woman's sea voyage from London to a small resort on the South American coast. In symbolic, lyrical, and intoxicating prose, her outward journey begins to mirror her internal voyage into adulthood as she searches for her personal identity, grapples with love, and learns how to face life intellectually and emotionally. Its wit and exquisiteness and its profound depth and insight into humanity will capture the imagination of the listener.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Seemingly random detail paints vivid pictures
Wolf rambles wonderfully through her characters' minds. Narrator is beautifully natural . A real treat

(It goes without saying that Virginia Woolf is a superb stylist already, here at the beginning of her career as an author). “The Voyage Out” could be seen as a a “coming of age” novel, which it is - almost... .

Beautiful prose
Very cleverly written- each chapter contains a masterpiece of observation that leaves one thinking ‘how did she think to put it like that?’ Very relaxing narration

Excellent
Excellent and well read. Story gently looks at the constraints on young women in that era. Something VW would have well known
