On a June morning in
1923, Clarissa Dalloway, the glittering wife of a Member of Parliament,
is preparing for a grand party that evening. As she walks through
London, buying flowers, observing life, her thoughts are in the past,
and she remembers the time when she was as young as her own daughter
Elizabeth; her romance with Peter Walsh, now recently returned from
India; and the friends of her youth. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith
is being driven mad by shell shock. As the day draws to its end, his
world and Clarissa's collide in unexpected ways. From Goodreads.
I should know by now that some (most) classics are not for me. This was boring and drawn out. I only read it because I needed a feminism book for a challenge. This is one of the very few books I have been close to not finishing.
