Mrs. Dalloway - Virginia Woolf

I  remember reading Mrs. Dalloway when I was in college and loving the story. Now, 100 years after publication, Virginia Woolf's masterpiece is still an affirmation of life. As Clarissa Dalloway's day unfolds, the sounds, smells, and atmosphere of London washes over her. The many characters entering the story, some related to Clarissa and her impending party, and others acting out their own sad tales on the periphery, all teem with energy and tension. It amazed me how much sensation of living Woolf could squeeze into this single, swirling day. I loved it again.
