'Miranda slept in the orchard, lying in a long chair beneath the apple tree. Her book had fallen into the grass, and her finger still seemed to point� as if she had fallen asleep just there.'
First published in 1923 but failing to gain the same fame as her groundbreaking collection Monday or Tuesday, Woolf's short story In the Orchard is perhaps her most experimental, painting the same picture in three very different ways.
Centred on a sleeping Miranda, set in an orchard redolent of her own at Monk's House, Woolf toys with the powerful style of retelling, leaving the reader to read between the lines.
Also included in this edition is 'Evening Over Sussex: Reflections in a Motor Car', a short essay that, taken with In the Orchard, contextualises the work and firmly relocates the reader to the Bloomsbury Set's Sussex.

Om forfatteren
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was a Modernist writer, widely considered to be one of the most important of the twentieth century. She and her husband Leonard bought a hand-printing press in 1917, and they set up Hogarth Press in their house in Richmond, which published much of Virginia’s work, as well as those of friends and fellow luminaries. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Set – an artistic, philosophic and literary group which included John Maynard Keynes, E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey. Today she is best remembered for her novels – in particular To the Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway – and her essay A Room of One’s Own.
