To The Lighthouse

Inspired by the lost bliss of her childhood summers in Cornwall, Virginia Woolf produced one the masterworks of English literature in TO THE LIGHTHOUSE. It concerns the Ramsay family and their summer guests on the Isle of Skye before and after the First Word War. As Children play and adults paint, talk, muse and explore, relationships shift and mutate. A captivating thrust, it is the most accomplished of all Woolf's novels. On completing it, she thought she had exorcised the ghosts of her imposing parents, but she had also brought form to a book every bit as vivid and intense as the work of Lily Briscoe, the indomitable artist at the centre of the novel.
