About this listen

Written before she began her experiments in the writing of fiction, Virginia Woolf's second novel, Night and Day, is a story about a group of young people trying to discover what it means to fall in love. It asks all the big questions: What does it mean to fall in love? Does marriage grant happiness? What is happiness? Night and Day is a conventional novel; however, it maps out for us the world of Virginia Woolf in its wondrous prose: for her it was the beginning, leading on to a prolonged engagement with her search for the means to express the 'inner life'.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Superb

You must accept with this story that it is not a fast moving, highly dramatic page turner. What this fantastic writing offers is an amazing insight into the hearts and minds of its characters. The style of description and depth of understanding as to the tiny nuances of how people feel about one another and how they interact is outstanding. to fully complement this book the narrator was fantastic, as she always is. I highly recommend anything narrated by Julia Stevenson.

Fabulous

The combination of Juliet Stevenson and Virginia Woolf is magical. One of Woolf’s early novels, so less experimental than her other work, but still full of marvellous insight and perfectly drawn characters and settings. Along with a plot one can easily follow!

Beautifully read

Engaging in a soporific way, mainly due to Juliet Stevensons wonderful narration. Often made me think I was listening to a Jane Austen novel!

What made the experience of listening to Night and Day the most enjoyable?

Juliet Stevenson is just lovely as always striking the perfect tone. I loved the setting in turn of the century London. I found the story difficult to engage with at first but then got into a juicy exploration of love and relationships that is really quite unique. The characters were real and full and sort of anti-romantic in a way which I found fascinating.

Slow to start but worth the wait.

Literature at its best. Excellent narration too. Can't wait to download another Virginia Woolf now!

Brilliant Classic.

A brilliant narration can’t save this diabolical novel. Just don’t bother, unless you have insomnia. JS reads it brilliantly, but there is no plot to speak of and all the characters (such as they are) are irritating at best. I assume, in the absence of any other explanation, that it’s supposed to be a comic novel, but it’s just not funny or ironic or even amusing. I hated it.
