This vivid novel is prized for its unique view into a human consciousness--an exquisitely detailed portrait of one day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway--and its provocative interplay between past and present. It is a rich novel of relationships, choices, consequences, and the inevitable passing of time. Of Woolf's highly influential body of work, Mrs. Dalloway is the book credited with transforming the modern novel. The story of one day in the life of middle aged socialite Clarissa Dalloway begins in the morning. She is buying flowers for her party.
