Lily Briscoe isn’t their daughter in the novel but essentially, through Lily, what we’re reading about is Virginia Woolf’s journey from stifled Victorian young girl to creative Edwardian woman. It's safe to say the characters of Woolf are much elusive and the story is inconclusive, as on the outside everything seems unfathomable. The real tragedy is that these characters, while desiring to understand and be understood, more often than not hurt one another, often due to fear and insecurity, through their attempts of reaching into the others soul.

The quote above is in reference to Lily Briscoe, one of several guests of the Ramsays during their summer holidays to the Isle of Skye. Christopher was born in Takapuna, a seaside suburb in Auckland, New Zealand, where he currently lives with his daughter. Ramsay, Paul, and Minta, whom she wants to marry, and the children who venerate: dinner, beef stew, bedtime, end of the day, storm.When Kevin Tucker lost his wife, his daughter Amy lost not only a loving mom, but also a dear friend. The combined harmony of these two aspects keeps them together irrespective of their so different temperaments.

Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). The language Woolf speaks is rich and imposing, casting an hypnotic spell over me, even thought to begin I was awash with confusion, reading Woolf for the first time has truly opened my eyes to why she is regarded so highly: the writing; I haven't come across anything quite like this before. Are the moments of illumination the ones we should grasp and hold onto, despite the moments of darkness? I appreciate the genius and the beauty of her writing, but it’s difficult for me to truly enjoy the experience while I am actually in the moment. I would also learn the novel does have personal ties with Woolf: her parents; the gaping hole that opened when her mother passed away; and the way her father imposed himself and his grief upon his daughters.how life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach. That does not mean I think those reviews are incorrect, I am just surprised at how many people connected with this book in a very positive way.
