The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf

4.0

Though this book is less experimental than Woolf's later novels, I still found it compelling in its exploration of her characters' interiority. A twist on the bildungsroman (as well as on the Victorian marriage plot), The Voyage explores larger questions concerning, marriage, love, gender, and, ultimately, both the limits and power of language. Though there were moments when the book seemed to drag, Woolf always found a way through her stunning prose to keep me reading.
