In the shadow of World War I, the Ramsay family gathers at their summer home in Scotland, anticipating a long-delayed trip to the nearby lighthouse. Mrs. Ramsay, the matriarch of the family, navigates the tensions and dynamics between her husband, the philosophical Mr. Ramsay, and their children, while orchestrating social interactions among their guests. The family's plans for the lighthouse are repeatedly thwarted by circumstances and the passage of time, leading to unresolved tensions and unfulfilled expectations.

Published in 1927, To the Lighthouse is hailed as one of Virginia Woolf's most iconic works, exemplifying her mastery of stream-of-consciousness narrative and exploration of subjective experience. The novel's experimental structure and lyrical prose challenged conventional literary forms, influencing generations of writers and critics alike and becoming a cornerstone of modernist literature.

VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.
