Mrs Dallowa : Penguin Select Classics

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.
