A review by drelyk
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

5.0

Reading this book was like reading a poem. There was little plot beyond exploring the minds of the characters and their views of the world. There was a fascinating look into consciousness and how individuals can never truly know one another beyond what they can express through their actions in the world. I never thought I'd be so enthralled with a simple dinner scene. The interlude between the two main sections of the book is one of my favorite passages I've ever read. It felt so melancholy to experience the passage of time through the lens of the home, with the deaths of main characters being but a footnote. I look forward to reading more from Woolf.
