Rediscover one of Virginia Woolf's greatest works in this

beautiful new gift edition from Vintage Classics.

Mr and Mrs Ramsay and their eight children have always holidayed at their

summer house in Skye, surrounded by family friends. The novel's opening

section teems with the noise, complications, bruised emotions, joys and quiet

tragedies of everyday family life that might go on forever. But time passes,

bringing with it war and death, and the summer home stands empty until one

day, many years later, the family return to make the long-postponed visit to

the lighthouse.

One of the great literary achievements of the 20th century, To the Lighthouse, is at once an

intensely autobiographical and universally moving masterpiece about changing

relationships and attitudes amongst the early 20th-century middle

class.

'To The Lighthouse is one of the greatest

elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time' Margaret
