"She was certain that he was thinking, we are not going to the Lighthouse tomorrow; and she thought, he will remember that all his life."

Every year, the Ramsays visit their summer home on the beautiful isle of Skye, surrounded by the excitement and chatter of family and friends. But as time passes, and in its wake the First World War, the transience of life becomes ever more apparent through the thoughts and observations of the novel's disparate cast.

A landmark of high modernism and the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf's novels, "To The Lighthouse" explores themes of loss, class structure and the question of perception, in a hauntingly beautiful memorial to the lost but not forgotten.
