Between the Acts
A Poetic and Profound Meditation on Art, Memory, and the Passing of Time
About this book
On the eve of war, life plays out like a fragile performance.
Set in a quiet English village just before the outbreak of World War II, Between the Acts unfolds over the course of a single summer's day during an amateur pageant on the grounds of a country house.
Through a chorus of shifting perspectivesālandowners, villagers, and the players themselvesāVirginia Woolf captures the delicate threads of human connection, memory, and identity. The play within the novel becomes a mirror for England's past, present, and uncertain future, blending history, art, and everyday life in Woolf's inimitable lyrical style.
Completed just before her death, this final novel is both a farewell and a celebrationārich in imagery, quietly humorous, and deeply moving.
"A delicate, shimmering work that distills Woolf's genius into its purest form."
ā The Guardian
"Part elegy, part comedy, part meditationāan extraordinary last gift from one of literature's greatest voices."
ā The New York Times
