Braiding memoir, literary criticism and biography, Smyth''s story explores universal questions about family, loss and homecoming. Through her inventive, highly personal reading of To the Lighthouse, Smyth guides us towards a new vision of Woolf''s most demanding and rewarding novelAll the Lives We Ever Lived is a wholly original debut: a love letter from a daughter to her father, and from a reader to her most cherished author.

''Beautifully written... a gift to readers drawn to big questions about time, memory, mortality, love and grief'' Wall Street Journal
