To the Lighthouse

For ten years, the Ramsay family never miss a visit to the Isle of Skye. And tensions, trembles, and twists are never far away when a family comes together on holiday.

But we’ll soon learn that things are never one-sided. You’ve got to deep dive into everyone’s perspective to truly unravel the riddle that is family love and life...

We’ve got the motherly Mrs Ramsay, the mighty Mr Ramsay, and their eight mad and merry children. What could possibly go wrong?

Virginia Woolf’s introspective ‘To the Lighthouse’ is the perfect read for fans of the novel's BBC radio 4 15-minute dramatisation by Linda Marshall Griffiths.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was a hugely influential English writer and modernist of the 20th-century literature scene. A pioneer in the narrative device of streams of consciousness, Woolf’s breathtaking collection spans ‘The Waves’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’, ‘Orlando’ and the non-fiction title ‘A Room of One’s Own’.

Ranging from the raw and real themes of war, shellshock, and witchcraft to the role and rise of social class in British society, Woolf’s literary output is a subject of intense interest for literature lovers and scholars alike.
