To the Lighthouse
Author: Virginia Woolf
Desc: The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse Woolf constructs a remarkable moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women. As time winds its way through their lives the Ramsays face alone and simultaneously the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph—the human capacity for change.
