Virginia Woolf - To the Lighthouse |
The sea encircles the story in a brilliant ebb and flow. Woolf’s use of personal reminiscence gives this novel the intimate quality of revelation. It is at once a vivid impressionist depiction of a family holiday and a meditation on marriage, parenthood and childhood. She uses shifting perspectives to highlight griefs, tyrannies and bitterness.
She saw this novel as an elegy on her own parents, but the ‘stream of consciousness’ method is never self-indulgent. This detached observant writer rejects older methods and Victorian values. This novel reveals wheels within wheels and rewards endless re-reading!
