Mrs. Dalloway
Bibliographic details
Summary
"Mrs. Dalloway follows Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for an evening party in London over the course of a single day after World War I. Through a stream-of-consciousness narrative, Virginia Woolf explores Clarissa's memories, relationships, and reflections on love, aging, and the choices that have shaped her life. Running parallel to her story is the tragic experience of Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran struggling with psychological trauma. Their seemingly separate lives are connected by shared themes of mortality, identity, mental health, and the search for meaning. The novel offers a profound portrait of human consciousness and the complexities of modern society." -- Provided by Publisher.
