Celebrate a captivating novel with this limited run special edition featuring the original cover created by Virginia Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, and the original text first published by The Hogarth Press. Mr and Mrs Ramsay and their eight children have always holidayed at their summer house in Skye, surrounded by family friends. Holidays of noise, joy and bruised emotions: the stuff of everyday family life that might go on forever. But as time passes, bringing with it war and death, the summer home stands empty until one day, many years later, the family return to make the long-postponed visit to the lighthouse. 'My mind was warped into a new shape by her prose and it will never be the same again' Greta Gerwig 'Woolf's groundbreaking novel is still one of the best available accounts of self-mythologising middle-class family life' Rachel Cusk 'I reread this book every once in a while, and every time I do I find it more capacious and startling. It's so revolutionary and so exquisitely wrought that it keeps evolving on its own somehow, as if it's alive' Alison Bechdel
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf was a prominent English writer and modernist literary figure. Known for her stream-of-consciousness writing style, she challenged traditional narrative structures and explored themes of gender, class, and mental health in her works. Some of her most notable works include "Mrs. Dalloway," "To the Lighthouse," and "Orlando." Woolf's contributions to literature include her innovative approach to character development and narrative technique, as well as her exploration of the inner lives of her characters. Her most famous work, "Mrs. Dalloway," is considered a masterpiece of modernist literature and a reflection of Woolf's unique literary voice. Woolf's impact on the literary genre is undeniable, as she paved the way for future generations of writers to experiment with form and style in their own works.
