Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
On a bright day in June, Mrs Dalloway is full of excitement and trepidation as she strides purposefully through London preparing for a party she’s throwing that evening. But in a nearby neighborhood, a WWI veteran is still haunted by the horrors of battle. Woolf’s captivating and influential style of writing beautifully expresses the mixture of buoyancy and sense of foreboding in the interwar period, when celebrations were overshadowed by traumas of the past.
