 **__make sure you check out the song i have added in the middle of my wiki__ (=** = Mrs. Dalloway By: Virginia Woolf                     =           Wiki was amazingly done by Courtney Lindblom (= Woolf was born January 25th 1882 and died on March 28 1941. She was an english novelist and essayist and one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the 20th century. Her most famous works include the novels //Mrs Dalloway//, //To the Lighthouse// and O//rlando//, and the book-length essay //A Room of One's Own.//The death of her mom in 1895, when Woolf was 13, and when her half sister Stella dies two years later, led to the first of Woolf's several nervous breakdowns. The death of her dad in 1904 provoked her most alarming collapse and she was briefly institutionalized. Her breakdowns and recurring depressive periods have claimed, were also induced by the sexual abuse she was subject to by her half-brothers George and Gerald. Throughout her life, Woolf was plagued by drastic mood swings. Even though these mental breakdowns greatly affected her social abilities, her literary abilities remained good.She was diagnosed of bipolar disorder, an illness which coloured her work, relationships, and life, and eventually led to her suicide. She married Leonard Woolf in 1912.

__**Plot Synopsis! ** __ "Clarissa had a theory in those days . . . that since our apparitions, the part of us which appears, are so momentary compared with the other, the unseen part of us, which spreads wide, the unseen might survive, be recovered somehow attached to this person or that, or even haunting certain places after death . . . perhaps—perhaps." The book //Mrs. Dalloway// covers from early morning to late night of the day in life of Clarissa Dalloway. Clarissa is an upperclass woman who is preparing for her party that she will be hosting later that day. As she was out shopping for flowers she started to think back to a very memorable summer she had spent when she was 18 when she almost married a man named Peter Walsh whom she loved but would have made a mistake to marry. He comes back many years later to her party and decideds wether or not to tell her that he still loves her. Then, a big incedent happens when her friend who was a World War I vet arrives and makes her look at life through a different perspective.

She was able to successfully fit details and events that were equivalent to a book that went through a longer time period. I enjoyed the book very much and how it was set up. I perosnally think that is one reason it is on the Outstanding Books list.

One thing that didn't work so well was the lack of backround information at the beginning of the book. When i started reading the book i was really lost and it was harder to read. I had to do a little research about the book in order to fully understand the book.
