Mrs Dalloway

''Sally stopped; picked a flower; kissed her on the lips.''


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 glittering climax in Woolf''s great novel of time, memory, war and the city.
