An extraordinarily poignant evocation of a lost happiness that lives on in the memory, To the Lighthouse centres on a family holiday. For years the Ramsays have spent every summer on the Isle of Skye, and they expect these annual outings will go on forever. But nothing stays the same. In a novel that captures the ebb and flow of time and the tides, Virginia Woolf captures the intensity of childhood delight and the complexity of adult relationships.
