Book Synopsis

''One of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time'' Margaret Drabble

To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family, the Ramseys, whose annual summer holiday in Scotland falls under the shadow of war, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. The novel''s use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives it an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of all that had gone before.

Edited by Stella McNichol with an Introduction and Notes by Hermione Lee
