About the Book

A modernist masterpiece exploring the inner lives of the Ramsay family and their guests on a Scottish island, spanning two separate occasions a decade apart.

Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, widely regarded as her finest novel, is a remarkably original work that delves into the thoughts and actions of the members of the Ramsay family and their guests. Set in the family's summer holiday home on a Scottish island, overlooking a bay with a lighthouse, the story unfolds across two distinct time periods, separated by ten years.

Woolf's experimental style pushes the boundaries of our understanding of the world and ourselves, making To the Lighthouse one of the most exquisitely crafted novels in the English language. Through her innovative use of the stream of consciousness technique, Woolf explores themes of family, relationships, feminism, and the lasting impact of World War One.
