'The Waves' is a modernist experimental novel in which the minimal amount of 'external' events merely highlights and frames the intense inner lives of the characters, who engage in a continuous conversation with themselves in their imaginations. 'Flush' is a charming, humorous novella in which the biography of the celebrated poets Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning is told through the prism of the life and adventures of Elizabeth's faithful friend and pet, her dog Flush.
