Mrs Dalloway

‘… it might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.’ Upper-class housewife Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a party one June morning, when an encounter with an old suitor makes her question her marriage and brings up thoughts of her past.

During Mrs Dalloway’s party, the fates of Clarissa and Septimus intertwine with disastrous consequences.
