Mrs. Dalloway

Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway follows a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, an upper-class woman in post-World War I London, as she prepares for a party. Through a stream-of-consciousness narrative, the novel explores her past love, unspoken regrets, and the contrast between her privileged life and the struggles of Septimus Smith, a war veteran battling trauma.
