To the Lighthouse, considered by many to be Virginia Woolf's finest novel, is a remarkably original work, showing the thoughts and actions of the members of a family and their guests on two separate occasions, ten years apart. The setting is Mr and Mrs Ramsay's house on a Scottish island, where they traditionally take their summer holidays, overlooking a bay with a lighthouse.

Virginia Woolf was born in 1882. The death of Woolf's mother in 1895 and her father in 1904 led to the first of the serious nervous breakdowns that would come to feature heavily in her life. Shortly afterwards she moved with her siblings to 46 Gordon Square, which was to be the first meeting place of the Bloomsbury Group. She published nine novels and was considered one of the most important twentieth century modernists. Woolf committed suicide in 1941.
