To The Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf

A remarkable and moving story about the allegiances of family life, To the Lighthouse is Virginia Wolf’s most autobiographical novel.

The serene and maternal Mrs Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr Ramsay, together with their children and assorted guests, have always enjoyed holidaying on the Isle of Skye. Their summer home is situated at a distance from a Lighthouse that six-year-old James Ramsay desperately wants to visit, but Mr Ramsay keeps delaying the trip.

Once the summer ends, war and death alter many realities and the visit to the lighthouse is postponed...

One of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century, To the Lighthouse is often cited as Virginia Woolf's most popular novel.
