To the Lighthouse

Author: Virginia Woolf

In “To the Lighthouse,” Virginia Woolf paints a poignant portrait of the Ramsay family and their summer home in the Hebrides. The serene setting belies the complex emotional undercurrents that ripple through the story. Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness narrative invites readers into the intimate thoughts and fleeting moments of her characters. The result is a timeless exploration of time, memory, and the ephemeral nature of human connection. Woolf’s prose is both lyrical and haunting, leaving an indelible impression long after the final page is turned.

To want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain.
