To the lighthouse

Before I write the question that I would ask Virginia Woolf if I had the chance, I will clarify in which circumstances I would make it.  I would like to make it in the year 1937 ( ten years after she wrote the book so that there is certain “distance” which would had allowed her to see her work in perspective; 4 years before she committed suicide so that she is not completely drown in sorrow ).

The question would go like this: “To the light house was an amazing book which opened our eyes and gave us a clear view of the world we lived in: a world dominated by men; a world that was chaotic; a world in which nothing seemed to be what we thought it was. Somehow the book captured the essence of our times and it meant so much to us because we were part of that reality described in it. Now,  after ten years, Do you think that this new generation  -- and why not future generations—  can find anything new in it, anything relevant to their world, or the “to the lighthouse”  was a book meant to be a time capsule a precise snapshot of the world and time in which it was written?

I would like to ask that because I would like to know – according to the author’s opinion— if the book could be relevant for me: someone who is, let’s say, a foreigner; someone who was not part of the world that the author attempted to describe.
