Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is preparing for a party and remembering those she once loved.
In another part of London, Septimus Warren Smith is shell-shocked and on the brink of madness. Smith’s day interweaves with that of Clarissa and her friends, their lives converging as the party reaches its glittering climax.
Past, present, and future are brought together on a momentous June day in 1923.
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was born in London, the daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen, first editor of the Dictionary of National Biography. From 1915 when she published her first novel, The Voyage Out, Woolf maintained an astonishing output of fiction, literary criticism, essays, and biography. In 1912 she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917 they founded the Hogarth Press. Woolf suffered a series of mental breakdowns throughout her life, and on March 28, 1941, she committed suicide.
Phyllida Law, a Scottish actress, has appeared in Monarch of the Glen and Waking the Dead. Born in 1932, she is also the mother of actresses Emma Thompson and Sophie Thompson.

Reviews
“Mrs. Dalloway, often called Woolf’s most accessible novel..[especially as] narrated by the charming Scottish actor Phyllida Law.”
“Phyllida Law’s beautiful reading may be the perfect way to experience Woolf’s modernist masterpiece…Law’s ability to render distinctions of class, of age, of sex, and of temperament is glorious, and makes for a gem of a literary experience. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
