Hello, and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf, where we put down our worries from the day

and pick up a good book.

In our last episode, we read the final pages of To the Lighthouse, a very interesting and

emotive read.

I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did, and as usual we have created this episode

as a brief recap of what happened at the end of the story, just in case you fell asleep.

After all, this is the sleepy bookshelf.

Now this is a warning, if you haven't listened to the whole book and you don't want to know

how it ends yet, stop this episode now.

For the rest of you though, I will continue.

Lily Briscoe was looking out at the little boat with the Ramsey's in it on their way to

the lighthouse.

She became a little worried about the boat as the weather seemed to be changing.

Nevertheless, she turned back to her painting and then sat on the lawn and tried to obtain

some inspiration.

She glanced over at Mr. Carmichael and wondered about his newfound fame as a poet.

How even though they rarely spoke, she hadn't read his poems, she felt like she knew him

on another, perhaps deeper level.

It interested her greatly that he never seemed to like Mrs. Ramsey.

When her mind moved to Charles Tansley, who was now married and living in Golders Green,

she had seen him once making a political speech in a hall about the war and had still

hated the sight of him then.
