Mrs. Dalloway - Virginia Woolf

A single day in post–World War I London unfolds as Clarissa Dalloway prepares for an evening party. Through a stream-of-consciousness narrative, the novel reveals her inner reflections on love, time, and the passage of life. Interwoven with her story is that of Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked veteran whose trauma mirrors Clarissa’s hidden despair. Together, their experiences explore the fragility of identity and the profound effects of memory and modern society
