"One of the most touching and revolutionary works of the 20th century" Michael Cunningham

Elegant and lively Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a party, remembering those she once loved. In another part of London, Septimus Warren Smith is on the verge of madness. Smith's day is intertwined with that of Clarissa and her friends, their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. Virginia Woolf's masterful novel, in which she perfected the interior monologue, brings together past, present and future on a memorable day in June 1923.
