Publisher's summary

To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionist depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on a marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny, and bitterness.

Its use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence, and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values.

One of Time Magazine's Best 100 English-Language Novels from 1923 - 2005.

Pretty solid all around

Was doing some window shopping for a good audiobook of this terrific novel and found this one. Not too bad, had to speed up the narration a bit due to it being a little slow, but it really helps work through Woolf’s strange yet mesmerizing prose.

Wonderful

Virginia Woolf is an acquired taste. Some find her writing too wordy, not enough action or story. I was one of those listeners, at first. Now I just love her writing style. It is rich, intriguing and such an internal experience that requires a special talent to express this beauty. Phyllida Law is just such a narrator! Thank you for giving me such a clear, lyrical view of Ms Woolf’s story.
