'One of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century' Michael Cunningham
Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is preparing for a party and remembering those she once loved. In another part of London, Septimus Warren Smith is suffering from shell-shock and on the brink of madness. Smith's day interweaves with that of Clarissa and her friends, their lives converging as the party reaches its glittering climax. Virginia Woolf's masterly novel, in which she perfected the interior monologue, brings past, present and future together on one momentous day in June 1923.
Edited by Stella McNichol with an Introduction and Notes by Elaine Showalter
'Under the heat and the hammering of bombs, Rinaldi paints the essence of the Second World War in exciting miniature'
—— David Hughes , Mail on Sunday'Much to enjoy...Rinaldi has tremendous fun evoking the rich cultural pudding that was Malta in 1942, its weird combination of superstition, fatalism and grafted-on anglophilia, of ricotta and stiff upper lip'
—— Patrick Gale , Daily Telegraph'Funny, romantic, disturbing...A marvellous tapestry of war...Moving and satisfying'
—— The New York Times'A beguiling, romantic story in an illuminating and surprising setting'
—— Joseph HellerThis is Elton at his best - mature, humane, and still a laugh a minute. At least
—— Daily TelegraphOnly Ben Elton could combine uncomfortable questions about gender politics with a gripping, page-turning narrative and jokes that make you laugh out loud
—— Tony ParsonsA very funny book about a sensitive subject ... Ben Elton the writer might even be funniter than Ben Elton the comic
—— Daily MailThe selections from the greats are generous and well chosen
—— Guardian
