Descriere magazin:
A wise, lyrical memoir about the power of literature to help us read our own lives--and see clearly the people we love most. Transcendent.--The Washington Post - You\'d be hard put to find a more moving appreciation of Woolf\'s work.--The Wall Street Journal NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TOWN & COUNTRY Katharine Smyth was a student at Oxford when she first read Virginia Woolf\'s modernist masterpiece To the Lighthouse in the comfort of an English sitting room, and in the companionable silence she shared with her father. After his death--a calamity that claimed her favorite person--she returned to that beloved novel as a way of wrestling with his memory and understanding her own grief.

An experiment in twenty-first century introspection that feels rooted in a modernist tradition and bracingly fresh.--Vogue Deeply moving - part memoir, part literary criticism, part outpouring of longing and grief... This is a beautiful book about the wildness of mortal life, and the tenuous consolations of art.--The Times Literary Supplement Blending analysis of a deeply literary novel with a personal story... gently entwining observations from Woolf\'s classic with her own layered experience. Smyth tells us of her love for her father, his profound alcoholism and the unpredictable cou
