Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf

A couple pause among the flowerbeds, their thoughts drifting apart. A woman's mind fixes on a small, troubling mark on the wall. A chance meeting becomes an imagined life, rich with longing and regret. In six luminous, experimental stories, Virginia Woolf remakes the short story as a space of transcendence. Moving fluidly between inner lives and outward scenes, 'Kew Gardens' captures moments of consciousness as they shimmer, fracture and pass, revealing the beauty and strangeness of everyday existence.
