Jacob's Room

More about the book

Set in pre-war England, the narrative follows Jacob Flanders as he navigates college life at Cambridge and his transition into adulthood. Told through the perspectives of the women around him, the novel explores themes of emptiness and absence. Virginia Woolf, a key figure in modernist literature, employs her signature stream of consciousness technique to deepen the reader's connection to Jacob's experiences. This edition also includes a biography of Woolf, enriching the context for fans of her work and modernist literature.
