‘Sheer magic’ Eileen Atkins, Daily Mail

Discover one of the most famous and ground-breaking pieces of twentieth century literature about one day in the mind of woman as she prepares to give a party.

In this vivid portrait of one day in a woman’s life, Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of a party she is to give that evening. As she readies her house she is flooded with memories and re-examines the choices she has made over the course of her life.

With a beautifully designed VINTAGE CLASSICS cover and the same text used as in its original publication, this edition of Mrs Dalloway is a perfect Mother’s Day gift for Woolf lovers new and old.

‘One of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century’ Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours

Publisher Review
