Summary: Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and one of the principal modernists of the last century. She won much acclaim for her novels: Mrs Dalloway and A Room Of One's Own. This novel follows the lives of the Ramsay household. One day, the son, James Ramsay, asks his parents whether they can visit the nearby lighthouse. His mother predicts that there will be good weather and that they should be able to do so. However, Mr. Ramsay contradicts this, replying that there may yet be a storm. The years pass and their trip to the lighthouse becomes a constantly postponed event in their lives. They come together once again after the great war and they have changed with time. Yet, their discussion of a trip to the lighthouse is the greatest sign of their change, and a philosophical reminder of a dream unfulfilled.
