Summary
It is a June day in London in 1923, and the lovely Clarissa Dalloway is having a party. Whom will she see? Her friend Peter, back from India, who has never really stopped loving her? What about Sally, with whom Clarissa had her life’s happiest moment?
Meanwhile, the shell-shocked Septimus Smith is struggling with his life on the same London day.
Luminously beautiful, Mrs. Dalloway uses the internal monologues of the characters to tell a story of inter-war England. With this, Virginia Woolf changed the novel forever.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Clever, modernist writing by Woolf, well read
Clever plot taking place in single day with a series of intertwined events focused around socialites party. Depth to the writing as expected with Woolf with several layers of meaning within the story. Moving consideration of shell shock and it's potential impact. Juliet Stevenson reads the story very well and sympathetically to Woolfs writing style. I love Woolfs work but had not read this- I enjoyed it very much and will probably read print version as well now.

Nuanced reading.
Juliet Stevenson’s performance of the shifting perspectives in Mrs Dalloway is brilliant. This is not just an articulate account it is an interpretative one that is especially useful for new readers (listeners) of Woolf’s mature work.

A modernist delight!
Virginia Woolf includes so many small stories in amongst the two very large ones. It gives a wonderful sense of the time and the luxuriant style oozes from the speakers voice setting the tone perfectly

If You Like People Watching ...
A vivid picture of life portrayed through the eyes of various characters on one day almost 100 years ago. The cameos are no different to the emotions, PTSD, worries about money, love and jealousy of modern day life that we all experience except that they are “painted” using beautiful language by a wonderfully skillful author.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although it won’t ever be the most memorable nor up there with my favourites as there was no particular story to it.

Love it.
I can't review Mrs. Dalloway.
Everyone has to form their own impression of it, anticipation of an incident or my impression of a character will only detract from the next readers' experience.
Juliette Stevenson reads it beautifully and her voice is entirely appropriate.
There should be a longer pause at the end of the novel, before Audible hopes anything. Otherwise, excellent.

Fantastic narration by Juliet Stevenson
I loved this narration which was excellent - fluid and light and allowed the wonderfully rich content of the book to shine through

A beautifully read modernist classic
Although the storyline meandered at times, this is a beautifully read rendition of a classic modernist novel.

Nicely read
Nicely read, but strange division into 63 tiny chapters - made it harder to check back to earlier references. And, as flagged by another review, the Audible farewell crashes in almost on the final syllable.
