It is excellent but for one thing: it leaves out her need for and joy in reading, introspection, that lingering darkness.
I would like to see a couple of words anyway bringing that out.
Sincerely,

“Immensely sociable, and given to lavish exaggeration, Mrs Ramsay likes to have an intimate knowledge of everyone around her. She is content only if she is the centre of her world, and, with her own eight children and various hangers-on, strives to create one big happy family. She is dominant and egotistical but extremely kind and caring, a strong woman well able to deal with the somewhat difficult MR RAMSAY.”
