A review by nprtotebag
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
5.0
thoughts:
the lighthouse section >>> (brought the entire book to another level)
I love Lily Briscoe
father/daughter, father/son relationships, the fine line between loving and hating a parent
james' and cam's silent sibling pact (because relatable)
the dinner party
the death reveals....
this book gets easier to read as you get into it and get used to the writing style. stream of consciousness takes practice, i guess. i intend to read more of woolf's works in the future and i think, knowing her style now, i'll be better prepared from the beginning
at times during reading this it feels like the characters blend together, becoming vessels for woolf's messages. this highlights the sort of dissociative, dream-like feeling i get from the book, and how the thoughts and actions and feelings of each person all blend together to create relationships
