Synopsis: &“As poignant as anything in modern fiction&”: An English girl comes of age on a journey to South America in this debut novel by the author of Mrs. Dalloway (E. M. Forster). Aboard her father&’s cargo ship, young Rachel Vinrace meets Helen and Ridley Ambrose, her aunt and uncle, who invite her to join them at a South American resort for the winter. Shy and introspective, Rachel tentatively agrees, and soon finds herself on a voyage of liberation and self-discovery as she experiences the excitement and calamity of young love. With an appearance by Clarissa Dalloway—and a fateful encounter between her husband and Rachel—Virginia Woolf&’s debut novel anticipates the groundbreaking brilliance of her later works while displaying all their wit, insight, and heartbreaking sensitivity. &“For all its tragic interest, The Voyage Out is not low-keyed; it even has a slight buoyancy of tone, as if clear perception itself brought a continual zest to its writer. Woolf has the diversity of power which makes the great writer of narrative.&” —New Republic This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
