Publisher's Summary
It is a June day in London in 1923, and the lovely Clarissa Dalloway is having a party. Whom will she see? Her friend Peter, back from India, who has never really stopped loving her? What about Sally, with whom Clarissa had her life’s happiest moment?
Meanwhile, the shell-shocked Septimus Smith is struggling with his life on the same London day.
Luminously beautiful, Mrs. Dalloway uses the internal monologues of the characters to tell a story of inter-war England. With this, Virginia Woolf changed the novel forever.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Exquisite.
Every single utterly delicious word of this legendary book packs a heart aching punch that is nothing short of remarkable. Magnificent.

Skillful upper-class London
Skillful writing with some beautiful moments, but the stream-of-consciousness style, with the story about a day in the life of upper-class London socialites, is dated and rather homogenous and privileged.

Stunning narration!
A master class of narration, making this novel a delight to listen to. My first time with Virginia Woolf and the stream of consciousness narration was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Enchantingly bizarre!
I was recommended Mrs Dalloway by a friend and in short, I loved it. I'd never read a modernist novel, and Juliet Stevenson's narration brought this one to life. So different to the average novel in style and form, but SO rich, lilting, natural, intimate, and real. Woolf effortlessly slips down rabbitholes of description, internal monologue, and characters' memories and experiences. It has no plot per se (nor is it meant to), yet it's insanely compelling in many parts as it explores the characters' inner and outer lives. I don't often like narrators putting on accents for certain characters, either, but Stevenson executes them so well. She strikes an elegant balance, with accents strong enough to be a little whimsical yet subtle enough not to be offensive. A great performance of a stunning book, that I'll definitely listen to again (you need to, or else miss some of those wonderful descriptive passages)!

Had to read for English Class
My review is biased because it was a prescribed English text and because we had to analyse the sh** out of it. So take no offence, I am sure it is a good read normally. And the reader was a good fit for this type of novel. Performance was great.
