Book
To the lighthouse / Virginia Woolf ; foreword by Patricia Lockwood ; introduction and notes by Hermione Lee ; edited by Stella McNichol.
"The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women."-- Provided by publisher.

A collectible hardcover edition of Virginia Woolf's masterpiece, featuring a new foreword by Patricia Lockwood
A Penguin Vitae Edition
Every summer, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey and their eight children vacation on Scotlandâs idyllic Isle of Skye, surrounded by artist friends. They expect these summers will go on forever, but with the arrival of World War I, they are forced to reckon with change, loss, and timeâs unstoppable march, before making, years later, the long-awaited return to Skye and to its towering lighthouse. An intimate, impressionistic meditation on memory, grief, the brutalities of war, and the tensions of domestic life, revolutionary for its use of stream of consciousness and shifting points of view, and infused with a singular poetic essence, To the Lighthouse is both a landmark in modernist writing and one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century.
