Review: The Voyage Out

User Review  - Megan - Goodreads

Wow, did I enjoy reading this book! This is not a book I'd ever thought I'd have read, but once again it was the only English-language book available on a shelf full of French and German titles (more ... Read full review

User Review  - Lobelia Toadfoot - Goodreads

This is Virginia Woolf's first novel, which she wrote between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-one. You might expect it to be amateurish for that reason, but it isn't. Woolf brilliantly and ... Read full review

Review: The Voyage Out

User Review  - Matt - Goodreads

This is Virginia Woolf's first novel, her own "voyage out" into the literary world where she was to accomplish so much. The book is an intriguing reading experience. As a first novel, it is only the ... Read full review
