A Heart Winning Romantic Comedy Novel Adapted Into Film
Night and Day is a forgotten romantic novel by the British modernist
author Virginia Woolf. Published in 1919, the novel follows main characters
Katharine Hilbery, Ralph Denham, Cassandra, Mary Datchet, and William Rodney as
they negotiate their searches for romantic love, freedom or happiness. .
Katharine Hilbery is the granddaughter of a well-known poet. Her first romantic
interest is William, a frustrated poet who later get married to and Cassandra
Otway, Katharine's cousin. Ralph Denham is a lawyer who sublimates his own
wishes for happiness and freedom to work and earn for his family. Mary Datchet,
a suffragist, and the daughter of a country vicar, learns to sublimate her own
desires for romantic love.
This social comedy shows the push and pull between the personal freedom
and demands of love. It also humorously portrays the endless efforts of
Katharine Hilbery to avoid marriage and romance.

surprise joy for audiences. It has been adapted into a film by JustineWaddell. She is an actress and screenwriter known for The Target, 2011, and
