Our July #BuddyRead is VW‘s 1927 novel, To the Lighthouse. We meet the Ramsey family at their summer retreat in the Hebridean isles over a ten year period.
Critics have claimed its themes to be about art, WW1, time, family and connection. My experiences of reading VW, so far, lead me to expect a highly skilled novel accumulating all the above themes in a most concise way. I can‘t wait.

I'm proposing to start on July 1st.
We all have different reading speeds. Not bragging, I think I'll finish first. So how about I create a discussion post for every chapter and hide it with a spoiler tag?
Your thoughts, @sarahbarnes @thegirlwiththelibrarybag.
pickWell, I was not expecting that ending. This was a mixture of thriller/mystery story with a story about grief. The whole time I tried to guess what terrible thing happened in the island, and my guesses were incorrect. I felt for the family but I did not care for the affair that the 2 main adults got into. However, I was eager to find out how it was going to end.
