The serene and maternal Mrs Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr Ramsay, together with their children and assorted guests, are holidaying on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse Virginia Woolf constructs a remarkable and moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life.

Woolf’s groundbreaking novel is still one of the best available accounts of self-mythologising middle-class family life and its oppressive construction of male and female identity -- Rachel Cusk
I reread this book every once in a while, and every time I do I find it more capacious and startling. It’s so revolutionary and so exquisitely wrought that it keeps evolving on its own somehow, as if it’s alive -- Alison Bechdel
A classic for a reason. My mind was warped into a new shape by her prose and it will never be the same again. The metaphysics she presents in the book are enacted in a way that allowed me to begin to understand that corner of philosophy -- Greta Gerwig
To The Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time -- Margaret Drabble
It is an elegy for lost times and family life * The Week *
