Often considered her most experimental work, Virginia Woolf's The Waves is a masterclass in modernist fiction, and a profound exploration of time, consciousness and the conflicting rhythms of individual lives. Published in 1931, The Waves unfolds through the soliloquies of six characters whose voices come and go – much like the sea tides they are surrounded by – in a blend of consciousness, tracing their journeys from childhood to old age. Around them drifts the unseen presence of a seventh figure, Percival, whose absence becomes a powerful refrain throughout the book.
