Betty Flanders, veuve, trois enfants, Archer, le second Jacob, le dernier au berceau. Virginia Woolf écrit la vie de Jacob par petites touches légères successives, comme pour une aquarelle. Les portraits de l'entourage de Jacob au long de sa vie viennent éclairer sa personnalité.

Widely acclaimed since its first publication in 1927, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse is a novel whose overt simplicity of plot veils a complex mix of autobiographical detail, tangled social questions and deep philosophical enigmas. The author's innovative use of nonlinear plot, stream-of-consciousness, and varying narrators, transforms the apparently 'normal' incidents in the life of the Ramsay family into a probing reflection on personal ...

The story opens with Clarissa running an errand to buy flowers. Reactions of different people can be noticed when unexpected events keep occurring throughout the day.
