Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short formWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JEANETTE WINTERSON`What conditions are necessary for the creation of works of art?' Security, confidence, independence, a degree of prosperity - a room of one's own.
Through a series of connected monologues, The Waves tells the story of six very different friends -- Bernard, Louis, Neville, Jinny, Susan and Rhoda -- as they progress from childhood to middle age. Interspersed with evocative descriptions of the seaside at different times of day, the poignant personal histories coalesce into a poetic tapestry of human experience.
