Critic reviews

"British actress Juliet Stevenson makes for a better reader of Woolf's words than Nicole Kidman's Oscar-winning turn as Woolf in The Hours...Her reading is quietly, carefully precise, and that precision is a solid complement to Woolf's own measured, inward-looking prose." (Publishers Weekly)

Such beautiful writing, beautifully read. The story slightly peters out towards the end, but still really enjoyed it. Virginia Woolf has true insight.

Wonderfully read by Juliet Stevenson

I was sorry to finish it. The narration was exquisite, it gave life and added even more depth to a masterpiece of English literature.
I found Stevenson's voice very relaxing to listen to and never monotonous.

I loved this book from the very beginning. Though hard to follow in places, Virginia Woolf has you from the first page. To The Lighthouse is a funny, sad, brilliant book that I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a book they will love forever.

Loved it. This is a tour de force of beautiful writing sensitively converted into audio. Juliet' s reading makes the narrative easy to follow and illuminates key passages. Well worth listening to several times.Thank you so much.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would, recommend this audiobook to others, and I have. I believe that I read To The Lighthouse many years ago, but its impact was greater hearing it read.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The narrative is weighted down by the effect of the parents, the power characters, on their children. This sense of claustraphobia infiltrates the book.

Brilliant Author, Brilliant Narrator

A wonderful book read wonderfully by the superlative Juliet Stevenson. A sense of knowing the characters intimately, not only as they appear but who they are in their deepest souls. I could listen to it again and again.

The narrator does a wonderful job! I find it easier to listen to an audiobook when it comes to modernist stream of consciousness literature.

Brilliant piece of literature
