Summary

The Voyage Out is Virginia Woolf's haunting tale about a naïve young woman's sea voyage from London to a small resort on the South American coast. In symbolic, lyrical, and intoxicating prose, her outward journey begins to mirror her internal voyage into adulthood as she searches for her personal identity, grapples with love, and learns how to face life intellectually and emotionally. Its wit and exquisiteness and its profound depth and insight into humanity will capture the imagination of the listener.

Highly enjoyed this novel- JS is as superb as ever. This is Woolf's first novel and it has a very Victorian feel to it. very different from her more famous Modernist works.

Beautiful prose

An engrossing cast of middle-class travellers, whose company continuously changes and widens. Here lies all the interest of this novel, because the plot is minimal: an ideal listen for”lock-down”as the story progresses gently and uneventfully. (It goes without saying that Virginia Woolf is a superb stylist already, here at the beginning of her career as an author). “The Voyage Out” could be seen as a a “coming of age” novel, which it is - almost... .
