Tracing the lives of a group of friends, The Waves follos their development from childhood to youth and middle age; While social events, individual achievements and disappointments form the outer structure of the book, it is most remarkable for the rich poetic language that conveys the inner life of its characthers: unity and isolation. Separately and together, they query the relationship of past to present, and the meaning o life itself. -- ER -
