Mrs. Dalloway details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional high-society woman in post-First World War England. Clarissa's party in the evening is a slow success. It is attended by most of the characters she has met throughout the book. In the end she gradually comes to admire a stranger's act, which she considers an effort to preserve the purity of his happiness.
Created from two short stories, Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street and the unfinished The Prime Minister, the novel addresses Clarissa's preparations for a party she will host that evening. With an interior perspective, the story travels forward and back in time and in and out of the characters' minds to construct an image of Clarissa's life and of the inter-war social structure. In October 2005, Mrs Dalloway was included on Time magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since Time debuted in 1923.
This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
