Mrs Dalloway

This story is about one day in the life of one particular woman of society and her circle of friends.

My introduction (later in life) to Virginia Woolf--I enjoyed it...didn't get the feeling of greatness I got with other of her books....I also enjoyed how characters come and go across her novels.

One of my all-time favorites! If you enjoyed this book, make sure to check out the excellent adaptation by Michael Cunningham entitled "The Hours", which also led to the movie adaptation starring Nicole Kidman (who plays Virginia Wolf), Meryl Streep (who plays a modern Mrs. Dalloway in contemporary NY city) and Julianne Moore (who plays a modern version of Viriginia Wolf in the 50s).

I really struggled with this book, I don't know whether I liked it or not. I enjoyed the different stories but I found the narrative hard to follow sometimes as it flicked from one person to another. This certainly isn't an awful book, nor is the narrative awful, I just frequently found myself getting a bit lost when trying to ascertain which character was now in the spotlight!
