Mrs. Dalloway

Front Cover
Harper Collins, Oct 1, 2013 - Fiction - 288 pages

Written in author Virginia Woolf’s trademark stream-of-consciousness style, Mrs. Dalloway intricately and vividly explores a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway—a woman of high-society London in the midst of preparations for a party. Moving through time, and from one character’s innermost thoughts to those of another, Woolf’s fourth novel is a moving portrait of privileged life inter-war England.

Because of its moving portrayal of the monumental moments experienced in everyday life, Mrs. Dalloway has been recognized as one of the most revolutionary novels of the twentieth century. It was listed on TIME magazine’s 100 best English-language novels of all time and was the inspiration for Michael Cunningham’s The Hours, both a Pulitzer Prize winning novel and an Oscar winning film starring Nicole Kidman.
