Reviews
It's wondrous to listen to a fine reading of a long-loved novel. Leishman makes masterly use of volume, timbre and resonance to distinguish between characters and draw us into the emotional swings and vibrations of the internal musings of each. She creates not a new but a more nuanced reading, following the interwoven streams of consciousness in a British English that lends authenticity to each voice. Leishman swims smoothly through Woolf's sentences that ebb and flow with numerous parenthetical thoughts and fresh images. These passages are interspersed with quick, sharp, simple sentences that gain strength in contrast. Leishman also draws our attention to Woolf's poetic prose: her rhythms and images, her use of hard consonants in monosyllabic words in counterpoint to long, soft, dreamy words and phrases. To The Lighthouse plays back and forth between telescopic and microscopic views of nature and human nature. Mrs. Ramsey is both trapped in and pleased in her roles as wife, mother and hostess. The introspective Mr. Ramsey is consumed with his legacy of long-since-published abstract philosophy. This is a book that cannot be read-or heard-too often.

Minifig was advertised as brand new, but did not come in a sealed minifig bag and instead came in a small zip lock. Seller also advertised free shipping, but I was charged $5.25 for shipping. Would not recommend this seller as I’ve bought other brand new minifigs that came in their sealed bags. If you’re going to advertise products as brand new, make sure that’s the actual condition of the item.

  • Complex and Intricate Read

    If you're looking for an intellectually compelling novel which explores the complexities of human emotion through gorgeous and vivid imagery, look no further! Not an easy read, but worth the intellectual effort. Highly reccommend!

  • The novel deals with a (ten-year) wait to go to the light house. Apt title.

    This is the novel that established stream of consciousness writing. Everyone should read it.

  • To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf (1989)

    I like this book because it attempts, and fairly succeeds, at representing in language the practice of "not saying" that fills our seemingly very communicative lives. In all the silence, we forget that much of our communication is left unsaid, undocumented, and that with the the thoughts of others makes up an entire volume of missed thoughts and motives.

    This is a great book. It was completely different from anything I had ever read. I really enjoyed the new perspectives Woolf provided.
