This novel is an extraordinarily poignant evocation of a lost happiness that lives on in the memory. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever.In this, her most autobiographical novel, Virginia Woolf captures the intensity of childhood longing and delight, and the shifting complexity of adult relationships. From an acute awareness of transcience, she creates an enduring work of art.
È stata una lettura dosata nel tempo; straordinaria per il flusso delle parole. Per me ogni libro della Woolf è una ricerca da prendere con calma. Arrivo alla fine con gioia ma quasi stremata. Non riesco a farne a meno.
This book is a series of narrative paintings, asking the reader to wait patiently and explore instead of guiding them (to the lighthouse). Unfortunately, I found the first half too stodgy to read (although I understand the perceived difficulties) - the second and third sections are brilliant.
