Bookclub Review
 
 
 
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf impressed us with Woolf’s extraordinary ability to create profound literature. She has a remarkable gift for seeing behind people’s social masks and revealing, in a beautiful and subtle way, how individuals live.
 
How they love and hate, fear and long, and how they cope with both the pleasures and the difficulties of everyday existence.
 
The novel contains very little dialogue, as Woolf primarily employs a stream-of-consciousness narrative style.
 
Our rating 4 of 5
