I wish I could give this 5 stars, but I need to set it apart from The Waves somehow. If you enjoy Woolfs stream of consciousness, I can guarantee you will love The Waves as well as this book. Beautiful prose. Clarissa is a wonderful character and dominates the text with her ambiguity, that keeps inviting you to interpret her and rethink the past with her. All the others have their interest as well. On the whole, Mrs Dalloway is clearer about events in the characters lives and a bit less experimental and bold than The Waves, but still wonderful
