Da infância na praia à juventude em Cambridge, sua personalidade é entrevista por mulheres que atravessam sua vida, da mãe a uma namorada. Este romance sinaliza o momento em que Virginia Woolf abandonou dispositivos realistas e abraçava—não sem ressalvas—a influência do modernismo de James Joyce, que lançava Ulysses naquele ano.
