From his childhood on the wild, windswept coasts of Cornwall and his student days in Cambridge, to his life as a lawyer in London and a fateful trip to the Mediterranean, the story of Jacob Flanders is told by the women in his life, either through his mother's correspondence, a friend's conversations, or the thoughts and memories of those who love him.
An excellent departure from traditional forms of the novel, "Jacob's Room" is both an epic and experimental story, narrated in pieces and fragments, and one of Virginia Woolf's most moving stories.
"Jacob, about whom people speak, about whom they think... is never presented. And yet, this refusal of presence by the author makes him one of the most vivid presences in world literature." – MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM
