Mrs. Dalloway / Woolf, Virginia

"On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a party and remembering her past. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell-shock and on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its . . . climax"--OCLC.

Direct and vivid in its telling of the details of a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, the novel manages ultimately to deliver much more. It is the feelings that loom behind those daily events - the social alliances, the shopkeeper's exchange, the fact of death--that give Mrs. Dalloway texture and richness.

Depicts the events, thoughts, and actions of a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway.

Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway, occupied with the last-minute details of party preparation, finds her thoughts on a very different route through the past.
