"She was all that. So that to know her, or any one, one must seek out the people who completed them; even the places." This quote by the main character Clarissa spoke to my love of adventure and travel. But quite frankly, there was very little of the remaining of the novel that spoke to my heart.

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
My first read by Virginia Woolf and I was not impressed. Mrs. Dalloway is preparing for a party. The book keeps slipping back into remembering people and the past. It seems to me the characters were worried about growing old and impressing people. The book is based on one day of her preparing for the party.
I may re-read it since I have a copy but not on the top of my list.
I will give it a 2 star rating.
All books are not for all people.

A day in the life of Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway as she plans and executes a dinner party for friends and family.
Was finally able to read this book. I do not really understand what the hype is with Virginia Woolf and her books. This is the fourth book I have read by her and all of them have been hard to read and or understand. At least for me they have.
