“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.”
Thus begins one of the 20th century’s most celebrated novels.
In it, Virginia Woolf recounts a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, culminating in a party she hosts that evening. Mrs. Dalloway reaches a tragic climax when death comes to the party.
As the hours slip by, so flows this tale of flowers and fate, memory and mortality—offering us glimpses into Clarissa’s past and present.
In the end, Mrs. Dalloway is not just the story of a single day but a meditation on the fleeting nature of life itself—a novel where time moves as inevitably as the hours, where beauty and sorrow intertwine, and where, even in the presence of death, life persists, luminous and unyielding.
As Clarissa’s day comes to an end, Woolf leaves us contemplating the fragility of life and the weight of our choices.
