“With twice his wits, she had to see things through his eyes -- one of the tragedies of married life.”
Life is made up of countless mundane moments with seldom anything special happening. Yet, it is the reflections and feelings contained in those moments that hold the power to transform anyone. This is a story of such moments, a deep look into a day in the life of Mrs Clarissa Dalloway.
She performs the perfect homemaker, while her mind runs over a sea of memories, suppressed emotions. On that day, a tea conversation with an ex-lover and unexpected flowers from her husband pushes her over the edge. With every fold of the napkin, she re-examines the choices that brought her there.
Touted as Woolf ’s best novel, the story takes a deep look into an ordinary women’s feelings, choices, and dreams.
Through a heartfelt and engaging story, the reader realises how we truly live a new life everyday through our feelings.
About the Author
VIRGINIA WOOLF (1882-1941). An iconic figure in modernist literature, with her experimental writing style and exploration of complex themes such as gender, identity, and consciousness, Woolf made an indelible mark on the literary landscape of the 20th century. She was born on January 25, 1882, in London, England. She was raised in a highly intellectual and artistic household. In her late teens, Woolf suffered a series of devastating losses, including the deaths of her mother and her half-sister, Stella. These traumatic events had a profound impact on her mental health and shaped the themes of loss, grief, and identity that generally permeate her works. Virginia Woolf's breakthrough as a writer came with the publication of her novel Mrs. Dalloway in 1925, followed by other influential works such as To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928).
