About this listen

It is a June day in London in 1923, and the lovely Clarissa Dalloway is having a party. Whom will she see? Her friend Peter, back from India, who has never really stopped loving her? What about Sally, with whom Clarissa had her life’s happiest moment?

Meanwhile, the shell-shocked Septimus Smith is struggling with his life on the same London day.

Luminously beautiful, Mrs. Dalloway uses the internal monologues of the characters to tell a story of inter-war England. With this, Virginia Woolf changed the novel forever.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

A master class of narration, making this novel a delight to listen to. My first time with Virginia Woolf and the stream of consciousness narration was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Stunning narration!

I was recommended Mrs Dalloway by a friend and in short, I loved it. I'd never read a modernist novel, and Juliet Stevenson's narration brought this one to life. So different to the average novel in style and form, but SO rich, lilting, natural, intimate, and real. Woolf effortlessly slips down rabbitholes of description, internal monologue, and characters' memories and experiences. It has no plot per se (nor is it meant to), yet it's insanely compelling in many parts as it explores the characters' inner and outer lives. I don't often like narrators putting on accents for certain characters, either, but Stevenson executes them so well. She strikes an elegant balance, with accents strong enough to be a little whimsical yet subtle enough not to be offensive. A great performance of a stunning book, that I'll definitely listen to again (you need to, or else miss some of those wonderful descriptive passages)!

Enchantingly bizarre!
