I first read To the Lighthouse in university and remember thinking it was okay, but not quite my cup of tea. Seeing this audio version on Overdrive recently, I wondered what I would think now, thirty years later.
Woolf’s style (heavy on stream of consciousness, light on plot) bugs some people, but I enjoyed it – far more than I did was I was young and couldn’t identify at all with Mrs Ramsay. Making it even more enjoyable was Juliet Stevenson’s excellent narration.
Recommended for anyone willing to give Virginia another chance.
