A book devoted to Virginia Woolf begins with a simple question: what if everyday life is neither boring nor insignificant? It examines the ordinary experiences and familiar objects that emerge across Woolf's essays, stories and novels. The premise treats daily life as worthy of close literary attention. Routines and things that might otherwise be dismissed can reveal patterns in Woolf's thinking and writing. The book uses her body of work as a lens for considering how she notices and describes the everyday. Its title challenges the habit of assigning low value to ordinary moments. The material is a study of recurring images and concerns in an established body of work rather than a new Woolf novel.
