Mrs. Dalloway

Set against the backdrop of post-World War I London, the narrative follows Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for a party, weaving through her memories and reflections on life, love, and loss. The novel explores themes of mental health, societal expectations, and the passage of time, revealing the inner thoughts of various characters whose lives intersect with hers throughout the day. Woolf's stream-of-consciousness style captures the complexity of human experience and the impact of war on individual psyches.
