Search - Mrs. Dalloway

Here is where prose becomes art. The loss at the heart of this novel is profoundly revealed in this text. It's a wonder that so much can be conveyed with mere words on a page. Majestic stuff.

It's Virginia Woolf - if you like her thought provoking, harsh style, you'll love this. She is a wonderful author who lets her true struggles with ordinary life come through in a truly beautiful and poetic nature. I'm bias though - I love her stuff.

I hate to admit that, although I tried and tried, I couldn't get through it.
It's supposed to be great, though.

This book is currently being discussed by the readers of the New York Times Book Review. The book covers one day in the life of a woman preparing an important party. But her thoughts range from the past, through the present to visions the future.

The portrait of a single day in a woman's life in pre-World War London, it's the novel that inspired the book and movie, The Hours.

A Woolf classic. Again, I came to this book from a film, The Hours. All the action takes place in one day while Clarissa Dalloway prepares for and hosts a party. Woolf is the best.
