| Plot Summary of The Waves |
|---|
"This novel by Virginia Woolf follows the lives of six friends from childhood to old age. The narrative is expressed within each of their thought processes. We learn about them from themselves and from each other. The book is a little short on plot but that doesn't really matter as the six friends have a varied and interesting existence which they share directly with the reader. "
