"To the Lighthouse" è uno dei romanzi più famosi di Virginia Woolf, scritto nel 1927. Il romanzo è tutto incentrato sul flusso di pensieri dei protagonisti, in cui la percezione del mondo esterno e del mondo interno si confondono, e colori e paesaggi interiori e esteriori si mescolano in modo unico, e reso forse possibile dall’atmosfera rarefatta dell'isola di Sky. Il mondo femminile è analizzato, sezionato, sofferto e compatito visceralmente dall'autrice.

With poetic precision and psychological acuity, Norah Vincent’s Adeline reimagines the events that brought Virginia Woolf to the banks of the River Ouse, offering us a denouement worthy of its protaganist. Channeling Virginia and Leonard Woolf, T. S. and Vivienne Eliot, Lytton Strachey, and Dora Carrington, Vincent lays bare their genius and their blind spots, their achievements and their failings, from the inside out. And haunting every moment is Adeline, the name given to Virginia Stephen at birth, which becomes the source of Virginia’s greatest consolation, and her greatest torment.

Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.
