Summary

Summary

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

A London Times Pick at #7 of the 50 Best Novels of the Last 100 Years

A Modern Library's 100 Best English-Language Novels of the Twentieth Century

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.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Beautiful…somber…Law’s rhythmic, poetic reading renders it with finesse.” AudioFile
“Law admirably narrates…easily moving from one character to another and keeping listeners engaged…Through stream-of-consciousness prose, the characters ponder family relationships, art, literature, and the roles of men and women.” Booklist
