First published in 1925, this traces a day in the life of society hostess, Clarissa Dalloway. It is Woolf's first complete rendering of her "stream of consciousness" mode, which displays the inner workings of the mind as it considers the surface and darker depths of reality.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Perhaps her masterpiece...Exquisite and superbly constructed…Required like most writers to choose between the surface and the depths as the basis of her operations, she chooses the surface and then burrows in as far as she can.” –E. M. Forster
“Hers is indisputably among the most sensitive of the minds and imaginations felicitously experimenting with the English novel.” –Jorge Luis Borges
“Virginia Woolf is one of the few writers who changed life for all of us. Her combination of intellectual courage and painful emotional sensitivity created a new way of perceiving and living in the world.” –Margaret Drabble
From the Hardcover edition. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

This review is from: Mrs. Dalloway (Everyman's Library Classics & Contemporary Classics) (Kindle Edition)
I had never read any Virginia Wolff before "Mrs. Dalloway", or even much mainstream fiction at all (usually I read science fiction). Maybe it was because I read it during a vacation in the French Quarter - a place that takes you to another time altogether - but in any event, I was just mesmerized. The stream(s) of consciousness, the clarity of insight, the sense that this really very ordinary woman is in her own way competent, loved, worth getting to know - what a joy, very Zen.
Beautiful.
