'Mrs. Dalloway' addresses themes of identity, time, and the individual's place in society, making it a significant work in the literary canon. Woolf's masterful prose and unique narrative structure set this novel apart as a must-read for those interested in modernist literature.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As Clarissa Dalloway prepares to host a party in 1920s London, she is unexpectedly reunited with her old friend Peter Walsh in a novel that shifts among the inner monologues of its many characters and is darkened by the terrors and hallucinations of parallel protagonist Septimus Smith. Juliet Stevenson s performance with its lyricism and lilt is perfectly matched to Woolf s text and transports the listener. Stevenson produces a delightful range of distinct voices her introspective, fragile Clarissa and stormy Peter are particularly strong.
