This striking pocket hardback edition presents Virginia Woolf's landmark novel, Mrs Dalloway, featuring gold cover embossing and gilded page-edges. 'One of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century.' - Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours. The elegant Clarissa Dalloway is putting the finishing touches on her house as she prepares to host a high-society party in the evening. Meanwhile, Septimus Smith struggles with the after-effects of shell-shock. At first glance, the two could not appear to be any more different - Dalloway is a middle-aged woman at home in the high-flying lifestyle of the prosperous upper classes, while Smith is poor, young and traumatised. And yet the two narratives brilliantly interweave to tell a haunting tale of life in interwar London.
