Description:
To the Lighthouse reveals to the reader something about life, about its joys and anguish, about the perpetual questions about existence. The story is set on the Hebridean Island off the coast of Scotland. The novel explores loneliness and strength against turbulence and probes the meaning of life. Virginia Woolf’s portrayal of a Victorian family gives an autobiographical base for exploration of continuity of inner life. Because of the author’s search for self and the meaning of existence, the characters she created seem timeless.
