Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Anjli Mohindra, best known for her role as Nadia in the BBC One series Bodyguard. This definitive edition includes an Introduction by Elaine Showalter, read by Kristin Atherton. On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a party and remembering her past. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell-shock and on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. Here, Virginia Woolf perfected the interior monologue and the novel's lyricism and accessibility have made it one of her most popular works.

Not my normally preferred writing style

Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2021

Verified Purchase

Stream of consciousness styles of writing normally turn me off finishing a book, but to Woolf's credit, Mrs Dalloway is something magical. I had to let go of my need to understand the point of an anecdote, and when I did I started to enjoy the novel. I laughed audibly and unexpectedly at some points, and felt some uncomfortable deep dread in others. My recommendation to new readers of Woolf would be not to linger on pages, but to push through and feel the chaotic rhythm. Mrs Dalloway is a funny, relatable, upsetting, chaotic slice of life that reflects on decisions made throughout life that mold who we are today.

I'm somewhat biased as I had a bad experience with this book when I was younger, but this is definitely not my favourite. It's not bad, in fact the writing is good. I'm just not a huge fan of stream of conciousness writing or Virginia Woolf. This is not the sort of book to read while distracted- it demands your full attention. If you give it that, you will be rewarded.

Beware - this not the novel 'Mrs Dalloway'

Reviewed in Australia on 22 September 2020

Verified Purchase

Please be warned. If you are hoping to buy a copy of the novel 'Mrs Dalloway', this is not it. It is discussion about the novel but there is no actual text of the novel in this book. I would have given it zero stars if that were possible.

I understand that this is a masterful work and a fantastic example of modernist literature but it is definitely not a fun read.

Good ponder

Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2018

Beautiful honest sweet book, worth reading twice to understand it fully! Wonderfully true ponder on ones life at 50, and the place of people, especially women and the impoverished, in "modern" society, through the gathering of memories in an effort to understand ones place in the world.

Revisiting an old friend

Reviewed in Australia on 5 October 2014

I re-visited thus extraordinary novel for a School of Life book club, and again fell in love with its crisp prose, satirical humour, forthright treatment of mental illness and suicide and startling contemporaneity. It reads as though it were written last month, rather than 90 years ago. Highly, highly recommended.

Virginia Woolf was an unusual person and her writing was equally unusual.

Not The Original!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2019

Verified Purchase

I have read this book many times and noticed that the text is not the original but can find nothing to say that is the case. The first line immediately alerted me 'Mrs Dalloway said she might buy the plants herself' should read 'Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.' Plants/flowers, might/would - why you may say make a fuss? Because the book was written by Virginia Woolf who wrote in a very particular, precise and poetic way. She should not be re-written. Certainly not without indication that modifications have been made.

I have been unable to post my comment without giving the book a rating so I have given it a nominal 1 star which is an over-rating in my opinion.

Faulty digitisation ?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Very disappointing. Found this version almost impossible to read, it just didn't make sense, seemed like random words had just been flung on the page. I eventually realised that this must be something to do with the digitisation (?). Had it been automised , or done by a computer or non- English speaker from a verbal recording instead of a written text?
I have since bought the Penguin classic version from Kindle and this is fine. I am enjoying the read.

Doesn't warrant a star rating but had to give a minimum of 0ne to submiy this review.
Do not buy this version.

Not for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I didn't finish this read. I have little to say about it. I found it fairly one dimensional, which is ironic, considering this is a novel studied by millions across the globe. The characters are suitably postmodern, giving little to know and less to like. The style of writing is wonderfully advanced given its time, however, Mrs. Dalloway herself is so unbelievably dull that I just can't bring myself to care about anything that she has to say. As I understand, the story improves in the latter half. Unfortunately, I have a short attention span for prose of this kind and if it doesn't grab my attention in the initial chapters it swiftly ends up on the 'half read' pile.

Don’t buy this edition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2020

Verified Purchase

All the text in this book is garbled. Luckily I knew the book already so could see that it has been transcribed so poorly that it makes no sense. It should be removed from sale.

The Text is mangled

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2020

Verified Purchase

This version is unreadable. No idea why the text is completely different from the original. It reads as though it were translated into Chinese and then back from Chinese into English.
