Clarissa Dalloway, a successful hostess and wife of a politician, is giving a party. Life and death, sanity and insanity, memories of friendship, love and loss - all combine to fill the hours of this beautiful June day. Mrs Dalloway is one of Virginia Woolf's most approachable novels. It's apparently simple structure - taking place over a single day and dovetailing two very different stories - belies its rich textures and the complexity of its beautifully drawn characters. Clarissa Dalloway's party, the climax of the story, is eagerly awaited by all and resolves both stories with wisdom and poignancy.
