To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf.

By Rachel King
This was my third time reading this book (though I’ve never made it through Mrs. Dalloway). I like to study how quickly Woolf switches focus between inner and outer worlds of a character and between different characters themselves. And what other writer, even these days, could pull off a lyrical a section as “Time Passes” smack in the middle of a novel? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think in this book Woolf experiments in ways writers haven’t since then.
