«LA SEÑORA DALLOWAY relata un día corriente en la vida londinense de Clarissa Dalloway, una dama de alcurnia casada con un diputado conservador y madre de una adolescente. La historia comienza una soleada mañana de junio de 1923, con un paseo de Clarissa por el centro de la ciudad, y termina esa misma noche, cuando están comenzando a retirarse de casa de los Dalloway los invitados a una fiesta. Aunque en el curso del día sucede un hecho trágico: el suicidio de un joven que vuelve de la guerra. Lo notable de la historia no es ese episodio, ni los pequeños sucesos y recuerdos que la componen, sino que toda ella esté narrada desde la mente de los personajes, esa sutil e impalpable realidad donde lo vivido se vuelve idea.»

Work Description
Virginia Woolf’s novel chronicles a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a politician’s wife in 1920s London, as she prepares to host a party that evening. The narrative follows Clarissa’s thoughts (and sometimes those of people she meets) as she goes about her errands, and events in the day remind her of her youth and friendships from the past. As the book progresses characters from the past emerge, igniting old feelings and making Clarissa question the life she has created for herself.
Mrs. Dalloway became the inspiration for Michael Cunningham’s 1998 novel The Hours.
