To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

3.0

---

This is the second work of Virginia Woolf that I have read, having read Mrs. Dalloway. I think I might have enjoyed this one more than Dalloway. The stream of consciousness narrative is fluid and airy as its setting on the Scottish seaside. This is a short novel but it should not be read quickly as one must keep track of the thoughts of each character. To the Lighthouse rewards the patient reader with beautiful writing, profound sentiment, and a narrative that weaves through both fleeting instances of the human consciousness and the unforgiving forward march of time.
