This was a difficult book to follow but I’m glad I stuck with it. It takes place after the First World War and covers topics like social class and PTSD. It follows the thoughts of Mrs. Dalloway, as she prepares for her party, and other characters associated with her.  My favorite parts were really the descriptions of London at that time, but I can’t say that I loved it.
