Mrs Dalloway
A stream of prose that is almost poetic in it's structure and descriptions. Follows an ageing (well, older) woman who's hosting a society party and various old acquaintances who turn up. Parallel story of a war veteran going mad. Always running through it is whether the characters have made the right choice in life (most seem to have) but the most sure seems to be be war veterans young wife. A good read but if you put down for a few days difficult to remember where you are. Worth reading if just for the descriptions of London life.
