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, author of Fun Home A classic for a reason. My mind was warped into a new shape by her prose and it will never be the same again. -Greta Gerwig, director of Lady Bird and Little Women To the Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time. -Margaret Drabble, author of The Witch of Exmoor [Woolf's] people are astoundingly real...The tragic futility, the absurdity, the pathetic beauty, of life-we experience all of this in our sharing of seven hours of Mrs. Ramsay's wasted or not wasted existence.
