"Night and Day" is a novel by Virginia Woolf that delves into the lives and romantic entanglements of two women, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet, set in Edwardian London. The story explores themes of love, marriage, happiness, and success. The main characters include Katharine, who is engaged to William Rodney but later agrees to marry Ralph Denham, and Mary, who works for women's suffrage and experiences unrequited love for Ralph.

Throughout the story, Woolf references the works of William Shakespeare, particularly "As You Like It." The narrative is rich with motifs such as stars, the River Thames, and walks. The novel raises questions about the coexistence of love and marriage and the necessity of marriage for happiness.
