In 1925, Virgina Woolf published Mrs Dalloway and To The Lighthouse would come out in 1927. A hundred years on, she continues to be celebrated but, unlike Joyce ( who she didn’t rate), no one really reads her today.  Perhaps she has been praised too much and placed so high on a pedestal that the non-academic reader feels underqualified to read her for fun.  If you've always wanted to read Woolf but have been put off by stuffy academia, our panel will save you. Enjoyable, lively and moving, her novels ring true even a hundred years on. No one should be afraid of Virginia Woolf!
