Beschreibung
The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women.
As time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face, alone and simultaneously, the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph—the human capacity for change.

A tough read, its 'stream of consciousness' prose combined with slow pacing it became a chore to read. In fact, I ended up switching to the Audiobook version and, to be honest, I had a much better experience. (Literally still no idea what was happening, but it was much easier to follow and i did start to enjoy it towards the end).
Unfortunately I don't think this one is my particular cup of joe. However I may give this another read later into my reading journey because I do think there is something here which gives me hope.
