The Voyage Out (Deseret Alphabet Edition)

Adeline Virginia Stephen Woolf (1882-1941) was an English author best known for her novels. She is considered one of the most important modernist 20th century authors and also a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. She suffered from bipolar disorder and, ultimately, committed suicide at the age of fifty-nine. "The Voyage Out" (1915) is Woolf's first novel. It's the story of Rachel Vinrace, a naïve young girl who travels to a South American resort for an extended stay. While there, she learns about the wider world, both abroad and at home. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
