To the Lighthouse
Overview & Summary
Centered on the Ramsay family and their guests during two visits to a summer home in the Hebrides -- separated by a decade and the disruption of World War I -- this novel uses a fluid, stream-of-consciousness style to explore memory, time, loss, and the inner lives of its characters, particularly matriarch Mrs. Ramsay and the painter Lily Briscoe. Virginia Woolf's 1927 novel is a landmark of literary modernism.
