Plt;bPgt;P#39;The Lighthouse was then a silvery, misty-looking tower with a yellow eye that opened suddenly and softly in the eveningP#39;Plt;/bPgt;Plt;BRPgt;Plt;bPgt;Plt;BRPgt;Plt;/bPgt;Plt;iPgt;To the Lighthouse Plt;/iPgt;is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged.
