Mrs Dalloway

Clarissa Dalloway spends a single June day in 1923 London preparing to host a party that evening — buying flowers, greeting old friends, and drifting through memories of a life's roads not taken, while across the city a shell-shocked war veteran named Septimus Warren Smith moves toward his own crisis. Virginia Woolf's 1925 masterpiece unfolds almost entirely within her characters' inner thoughts, pioneering the stream-of-consciousness style that would reshape the modern novel. Woven from a single ordinary day, Mrs Dalloway captures the extraordinary weight of an entire life examined in real time.
