Mrs Dalloway / Virginia Woolf

Mrs. Dalloway takes place on one day in the middle of June 1923. Its plot is seemingly thin: a middleaged society hostess is having a party she hopes the Prime Minister will attend she reconnects with old friends from her youth. From these slimmest of premises a whole world unfolds. Of all of Virginia Woolfs novels, it is Mrs. Dalloway that appears to speak most intimately to our own time.
