Celebrated for its revolutionary literary techniques, this novel offers an unadorned portrayal of pastoral life, focusing on the everyday experiences of ordinary people.

Its use of stream of consciousness adds depth to the narrative, capturing the complexities of life in a way that resonated with readers upon its 1917 release.
