One of my favorite classics, improved even further with an updated cover and foreward.

"What is the meaning of life? That was all – a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one."

Thank you NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Somewhat interesting story, but the stream of consciousness writing made it hard to follow. It switches character point of view frequently.

The introduction and the other scholarly content of this edition are by far the strongest elements. They will be of use to academics. The cover makes one think that it is, in fact, a graphic novel. That is a problem.

Ultimately, Woolf is more of a writer to be studied than to be read for pleasure for most readers. Without some context, To the Lighthouse is a difficult novel.
