Mrs Dalloway: Gilded Pocket Edition

'One of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century.' - Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours. Set in London during the aftermath of the First World War, the elegant Clarissa Dalloway is putting the finishing touches on her house as she prepares to host a high-society party. Meanwhile, Septimus Smith struggles with the after-effects of shell-shock. At first glance, the two could not appear to be any more different - Dalloway is a middle-aged woman at home in the high-flying lifestyle of the prosperous upper classes, while Smith is poor, young and traumatised. And yet the two narratives brilliantly interweave to tell a haunting tale of life in interwar London.
