Woolf's third novel builds its subject out of absence, assembling a young man's life from the impressions of the people around him.
The book marks the point where she broke with conventional narration, and much of its interest lies in what it withholds: Jacob is rarely shown directly, so the reader has to assemble him from fragments and second-hand glimpses. At 184 pages it is one of her shorter works, which makes it a reasonable way into her experimental period without committing to a longer novel first. The edition is marked for sixteen and above, appropriate for prose that asks for attention rather than speed.
A short summary of features:
• Woolf's first fully experimental novel
