Night and Day is Virginia Woolf's second novel. Unlike Woolf's later modern experimental novels in which she used the "stream of consciousness" technique, this work, written in a classical realist style, draws attention with its plot, depictions of real places, meticulously depicted characters and features that reflect the atmosphere of the period.

The novel, published in 1920, foreshadows his later works, skillfully portraying the reflections of objective reality and historicity in human consciousness through very different characters.

The novel is set in London before the First World War. Woolf describes the intelligentsia, the world of ideas and spirit of the period in a humorous yet warm and human language. She discusses issues such as women's rights, class difference, love, marriage and freedom through the lives, struggles, hopes and pains of her characters. Night and Day is an emotional and profound text about the fate of modern man and his struggle to understand others, which we witness in Katharine, Mary and Ralph's search for truth.
