The narrative unfolds through the soliloquies of six distinct characters—Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis—while Percival, a pivotal presence, remains voiceless. This experimental novel interweaves their introspective thoughts with nine third-person interludes that depict a coastal setting transitioning from sunrise to sunset, enhancing the exploration of time and identity. Woolf's innovative structure and lyrical prose delve into the characters' inner lives, reflecting the complexities of human experience.
