Night and Day

Focusing on the intricate relationships among four main characters, the narrative delves into Katharine Hilbery's struggle with her literary legacy and romantic dilemmas involving aspiring poet William Rodney and lawyer Ralph Denham. Mary Datchet, a suffragist, serves as a confidante for the others, revealing their inner conflicts about love and ambition. This 1919 novel, more traditional in style than Woolf's later works, poignantly addresses women's suffrage and the challenges of balancing love, marriage, and professional aspirations in a changing society.
