Perhaps the best of Virginia Woolf ...

It took me back to me twice to play Mrs Dalloway; having finished all Jane Austen, I was looking for something in this continuity and in my ignorance, I thought Virginia Woolf could bring me. On my first reading of this novel, so I was rather disappointed and I was not able to finish it.
I got handed a year later without any prejudice and there, I devoured.
Mrs Dalloway chronicles the life of a London woman through her and through his relatives. We dive in turn in thought, in that of her husband, her daughter and a former lover reappears that day. Everything is so subjective and interior monologue.
Besides, we have Septimus who returned from the "Great War" has more or less plunged into madness. This character is important because it seems "canalyser" the feelings of the heroine and as she would say herself, her suicide somehow replaces his. Virginia Woolf has also experienced the same horrors as Septimus and one can imagine that it was inspired by his own visions to transcribe his character.
In short, a novel not to be missed.
