I will admit that this was no easy read. It might be just web pages, but each web page lingers with the viewers as well as asks to be reduced; enabling words to clean over them.

My guidance is to slow down. To the Lighthouse holds true standard, and also extremely suggest it! Contact us. Login Register. On our website you can find links that lead to media files. These files are stored somewhere else on the internet and are not a part of this website.

This has the CD liner notes, including a table of contents and a nice historical note by Roy McMillan. An interesting book but not very easy to follow since it is written in the form of "stream of consiousness" or "interior monologue", meaning that the narrator depicts the multitudinous thoughts and feelings which pass through the mind of the characters- but Juliet Stevenson's reading renders the task much easier and even more enjoyable.

She changes her voice in a way which makes it easy for the reader to know who is talking sometimes it can be very hard to guess! The difficulty of Virginia Woolf's writing, however, makes it necessary to stop and reread some passages. The book tells the story of Mrs Ramsay, a submissive wife and mother of eight children, who believes men to be intellectually superior to women "this admirable fabric of masculine intelligence", and who is constantly sympathizing with her tyranical husband and pitying men, especially the unmarried among them.

She tries to marry Lily Briscoe, a young promising painter to Mr Bankes. This is really hard going. I kept going until the end as I know it is a classic but most of it went over my head. The story is incredibly difficult to follow and there is no real point to it. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would, recommend this audiobook to others, and I have.

I believe that I read To The Lighthouse many years ago, but its impact was greater hearing it read. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The narrative is weighted down by the effect of the parents, the power characters, on their children.

This sense of claustraphobia infiltrates the book. This is a novel where very little happens and it is difficult to find a story or a purpose. The book is set in the early 20th century and follows the Ramsay family, a couple with eight children, and their friends at their summer home on the Isle of Skye. He is a tense Philosophy Professor and she is beautiful and wise. There is a repeated request by the children to visit the lighthouse the next day, but the weather never permits this. Mr Ramsay is reluctant to make the trip but Mrs Ramsay is more optimistic.

In the second part of the book, ten years have passed, the First World War has come and gone. Mrs Ramsay and two of the children are dead and Mr Ramsay is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his wife, particularly her encouragement for his work. In the final section some of the remaining family and friends finally take the trip to the Lighthouse. The adult children see their father in a more sympathetic light and he is more caring.

There is some fishing and the completion of a painting but this is all very obtuse. This novel may be about the complexity of human relationships and unresolved conflict but it is all very middle class, themes are generally eluded to rather than explored and much of the time the novel is However, the saviour is Woolf's writing which is multi-layered and well crafted indicating that she could write brilliantly.

Maybe she achieved this in her other novels like Mrs Dalloway and Orlando. Woolf's writing is a joy and Ms Stevenson's performance is perfect. A sublime indulgence. Such beautiful writing, beautifully read. The story slightly peters out towards the end, but still really enjoyed it.

Virginia Woolf has true insight. Exactly as wonderful as I remembered. Or maybe even more now when I'm better equipped to appreciate its slow, uneven progress. Each sentence is a work of art. A beautiful reading to be savoured not consumed.
