Summary
Written in 1927, To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's experimental and brilliant third novel. The narrative concerns the annual visits by the Ramsay family to their summer home in the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920. Once again employing her unique, stream-of-consciousness style of writing, Woolf creates a fascinating and complex novel where the point of view of the narration switches between the various Ramsay family members and their guests. This semi-autobiographical book was hailed in its time as a breakthrough work of genius by critics and has gone on to become one of the most beloved and carefully studied books of all time. Named by both Modern Library and Time Magazine as as one of the 100 best English language novels of the 20th century, To the Lighthouse is an insightful study of family life, domestic tension and the complexity of human relationships. It is presented here in its original, unabridged format along with a biography of the author
