A beautifully written book which links the stories of three women together. Virginia Woolf, the author, who writes of Mrs. Dalloway, first name Clarissa; Clarissa Vaughan, nicknamed Mrs. Dalloway by her friend and ex-lover, Richard; and Richard's mother, Laura, who is reading the book. This moves through different times and interweaves the stories. Very lyrical with wonderful characters that you feel for.
