Mrs. Dalloway è il primo grande romanzo di Virginia Woolf, pubblicato nel 1925. Nell'arco di una sola giornata i fili invisibili delle emozioni uniscono...

“Mrs Dalloway sa at hun ville kjøpe blomstene selv.” Med denne senere så berømte setningen innledes romanen, som utspiller seg en sommerdag i London i juni 1923 hvor Clarissa Dalloway forbereder et middagsselskap.

We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation - or shock - of the next few words.
