Story
Jacob's Room is a novel by Virginia Woolf, first published in 1922. It's considered one of her pioneering works in modernist literature. The novel follows the life of Jacob Flanders, from his childhood to his adulthood, primarily through the perspectives and memories of those who knew him. Woolf's experimental narrative style, characterized by stream-of-consciousness and shifting perspectives, creates a fragmented yet rich portrayal of Jacob's inner life and the world around him.

Into this fevered forum, a child is born. His mother is Agrippina, granddaughter of Emperor Augustus. But their imperial blood is no protection.

One mistake risks exile, incarceration, execution. Or, worst of all, the loss of her infant son.
