This book is about the human experience as one family visits the Isle of Skye in Scotland twice, ten years apart. Told through various perspectives, we see how the family-and their guests-think, feel, and relate. The novel examines tensions and connections within the group of friends and family, as well as highlight the joys and tragedies of everyday life. "Beyond being about the very nature of reality, it is itself a vision of reality." "A classic for a reason. My mind was warped into a new shape by her prose and it will never be the same again." "To The Lighthouse plays back and forth between telescopic and microscopic views of nature and human nature. Mrs. Ramsey is both trapped in and pleased in her roles as wife, mother, and hostess. The introspective Mr. Ramsey is consumed with his legacy of long-since-published abstract philosophy. This is a book that cannot be read-or heard-too often."
