To the Lighthouse |
I picked this up out of idle curiosity, to see how dated it is, and ended up enthralled. It's not an easy read but it does, I think, repay attention with its sinuously beautiful prose and intimate exploration of the inner workings of her characters' minds. And having always used the image of the title as a metaphor for unachieved aims I was amazed to find they do eventually get to the lighthouse!
