In “Mrs. Dalloway,” Virginia Woolf masterfully delves into a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway. As she prepares for a grand evening party, Clarissa’s thoughts weave through past memories and present encounters, revealing layers of affection, regret, and longing. Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness technique beautifully captures the fragility of human experience, making readers reflect on their own lives and connections. Every page feels like a whispered secret or an intimate revelation.
I prefer men to cauliflowers.
