Mrs. Dalloway

by Virginia Woolf

One June day in London in 1923: Clarissa Dalloway buys the flowers herself and prepares for her party, while across the city a shell-shocked soldier, Septimus Smith, struggles to hold on. Woolf moves between their minds as Big Ben strikes the hours. The two never meet, and they are the book’s two halves.
