Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

9/10

I enjoyed Mrs. Dalloway. Following someone through one day of their life is an interesting concept. The flashbacks were very plot-developing and intriguing. It is intriguing to show that as individuals, we think about the past multiple times a day, and the past shapes us. The other characters in the novel were very interesting and demonstrates how our lives intercept with so many others through the course of a day. Some characters were more interesting than others. I found Elizabeth to be a bit one-dimensional and felt that Clarissa was still a bit of a mystery after the novel. I wish there were more details and past stories, but overall, it is a well-written novel.
