The Lighthouse (book by Virginia Woolf)

"The Lighthouse," a modernist novel by Virginia Woolf, explores themes of perception, time, and the inner thoughts of its characters. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows the Ramsay family and their guests during a summer visit to the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Through stream-of-consciousness narrative, Woolf delves into the characters’ desires, relationships, and the passage of time, symbolized by their longing to visit a lighthouse. The novel examines the complexities of human experience, memory, and the search for meaning, ultimately reflecting the interplay between individual consciousness and the external world.
