Our previous featured book was The Years: A Novel by Virginia Woolf read by Gabriel Woolf.

Tracing the history of the Pargiter family from the 1880s to the "present day" of the mid-1930s. Although spanning fifty years, the novel is not epic in scope, focusing instead on the small private details of the characters' lives.

The Years: A Novel by Virginia Woolf

15 episodes

The book cover features an abstract, artistic design. It uses a variety of colours and textures to create an intriguing visual. The background is predominantly a light beige colour with vertical brush strokes in varying shades of beige and light brown. There are clusters of small, blue, oval-shaped marks scattered throughout the upper half of the cover, which give a sense of depth and texture.

Towards the bottom half of the cover, there are darker, more saturated shapes. These include a large, dark green shape with a rough texture, a smaller black shape, and a hint of bright red near the bottom left corner, adding contrast to the composition.

The title "The Years" and the author's name "Virginia Woolf" are written in an elegant, white cursive font, positioned centrally towards the lower half of the cover. The text stands out against the darker background, making it easily readable.

The overall design is abstract and modern, giving a sense of depth and complexity that aligns with Virginia Woolf's literary style.
