What to expect

Written before she began her experiments in the writing of fiction, Virginia Woolf’s second novel, Night and Day, is a story about a group of young people trying to discover what it means to fall in love. It asks all the big questions: What does it mean to fall in love? Does marriage grant happiness? What is happiness?

Critics Review

Woolf’s second novel, overshadowed by her more famous works, may be more conventionally styled and plotted than her later writings. But – especially experienced through Stevenson’s splendid reading – it presents intriguing characters and modern ideas in the lyrical prose for which Woolf is justly praised. Stevenson flawlessly shifts among characters, offering their conversations as well as their thoughts in accents that capture gender and social class. Her portrayal of Mrs Hilbery, protagonist Katharine’s mother, is particularly fine. She speaks in artificially sweet, patrician accents that match her preference for people who ‘are’ over people who ‘do’. Stevenson’s sensitive, nuanced performance highlights Woolf’s interest in the role of women.
