Virginia Woolf 
Night and Day 

Virginia Woolf’s 1919 novel “Night and Day”, her second, is the story of three Edwardian British women. The beautiful Katharine Hilbery, who must choose between two disparate suitors, her mother Margaret, who is writing a biography of her own famous poet father, and Mary Datchet, a campaigner for suffrage and women’s rights. The novel examines the relationships between love, marriage, happiness, and success by recording the subtle ways in which these women’s lives intersect.
