{"product_id":"2940170747009","title":"The Voyage Out","description":"Rachel Vinrace, Virginia Woolf's first heroine, is a motherless young woman who, at twenty-four, embarks on a sea voyage with a party of other English folk to South America. Guileless, and with only a smattering of education, Rachel is taken under the wing of her aunt Helen, who wishes to teach Rachel \"how to live.\" Arriving in Santa Marina, a village on the South American coast, Rachel and Helen are introduced to a group of English expatriates. Among them is the young, sensitive Terence Hewet, an aspiring writer, with whom Rachel falls in love. But theirs is ultimately a tale of doomed love, set against a chorus of other stories and other points of view, as the narrative shifts focus between its central and peripheral characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLess formally experimental than her later novels, \u003ci\u003eThe Voyage Out\u003c\/i\u003e nonetheless clearly lays bare the poetic style and innovative technique-with its multiple figures of consciousness, its detailed portraits of characters' inner lives, and its constant shifting between the quotidian and the profound-that are the signature of Woolf's fiction.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105120895216,"sku":"2940170747009","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170747009_p0.jpg?v=1763817675","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170747009","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
