A review by butterflyzo
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
5.0
i'll be honest this was a hard read to begin with. i'd never read a virginia woolf book before and i chose this as the book to get me out of my reading slump(my fault)
but once you get used to her writing style and the lack of a traditional strong plot to latch on to, this book is just perfect. as soon as i finished it i wanted to read it again. it's what it means to be a woman. it's what it means to age. it's what it means to grieve.
although many of the main characters were not ones i would identify with, i found that the way Woolf fleshes out their personalities makes them real. characters i initially hated turned into characters i could understand and relate to.
her writing style is just perfect. you can read a passage and just picture yourself right there, fully immersed. 10/10 book for me!!
