Opening with the story of a large Victorian house in 1880s London, The Years depicts the bittersweet experiences of the Pargiter family over the course of fifty years as they look forward to a new era with a realistic narrative that is different from Woolf's other novels. This unforgettable work is an unforgettable novel of an era, depicting the pessimistic and optimistic states of individuals trying to internalize the tensions caused by the traditional relationships shattered by contemporary capitalism and reconcile the utopian hopes of the pre-war period with the deep sadness of the post-war period.
