To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf | Read by Ruth Wilson | Penguin Audiobooks

Listen to the first chapter of To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, read by Ruth Wilson. You can listen to the complete audiobook on Audible https://lnk.to/ToTheLighthouse and Spotify https://lnk.to/SpotifyToTheLighthouse

To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Ruth Wilson, star of Luther, Mrs Wilson and His Dark Materials. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Hermione Lee.

For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. The novel's use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives it an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values.
