To the Lighthouse

“What is the meaning of life? That was all — a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.”

Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay and their eight children spend the summer holiday on Scotland’s Isle of Skye. When the family postpones their trip to a nearby lighthouse, the narrative evolves into a meditation on the subjectivity of art and the bittersweet impermanence of life.

This semi-autobiographical account invites fans of Virginia Woolf’s beloved classics Mrs. Dalloway and A Room of One’s Own to glimpse a more intimate exploration of the author’s own upbringing. Discover for yourself why To the Lighthouse was featured in the “ALL TIME 100 books list” of English-language novels published since the dawn of TIME magazine.
