  Men and women have many wild fears that are very unlikely to ever come true except perhaps in a dream that lurches into a nightmare that seems so real that it must be real. 
   
  Perhaps being a fellow traveller in a coach or a train carriage and realising, whether in a sudden jolt or a slowly rising uneasy feeling of horror, that your fellow occupants might not actually be from this world, but more probably from the next, would be such a situation. 
   
  We delighted to now put you in such good company!  Indeed Amelia Edwards, E F Benson, Violet Hunt, Rudyard Kipling and the incisive talents of many others would definitely like you along for the ride.

  "Reality, she thought, could not be contained; it flowed like the waves against the shore."
  
  To the Lighthouse (1927) is one of the most moving masterpieces of modernist literature, a ground-breaking novel that dives deep into the exploration of memory, family, longing and the fragile nature of time.
  
  The novel revolves around the Ramsay family and their guests across two summer visits to their holiday home on the Isle of Skye, one before and one after the First World War. Through shifting perspectives and the flow of consciousness, the author captures the beauty of everyday moments—a gesture, a glance, a passing thought—and reveals how they reverberate across time. As children play and adults converse, paint, and reflect, perspectives shift and relationships change in this captivating blend of reminiscence, social critique, and insightful exploration of the human capacity for change.
  Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A pioneering modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her use of innovative literary techniques and influence on feminist criticism. Born in London to a literary family, she became a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group, surrounded by intellectuals and artists who shaped her views on feminism and society. Woolf's notable works, including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando, explore themes such as identity, time, and the complexities of human relationships. Her writings have left a lasting legacy, positioning her as a vital voice in 20th-century literature and feminism.
