About this book
Clarissa Dalloway sets out to buy flowers for her evening party, and a June morning in London opens into memories of her youth at Bourton. Traffic, shop windows, the sound of Big Ben and a meeting with Hugh Whitbread all enter her thoughts. Peter Walsh returns in remembered remarks and old disagreements, while her pleasure in the city sits beside an awareness of illness, age and losses left by the war.
The prose follows these shifts of attention, letting ordinary sights lead into private feelings and judgments about other people. Elsewhere, Sir William Bradshaw's insistence on proportion and solitary rest becomes a sharp study of authority. His influence over patients and his wife's gradual submission raise doubts about care that demands obedience.
