Mrs Dalloway is a snapshot of the thriving metropolis of post-WW1 London. This creates some interesting commentaries about the war, it’s impact and life following it, Woolf’s novel set at the time she was writing, however that’s about all that I enjoyed in this book. If reminded me a lot of Defoe’s Roxana (a book I read last month) as it is only the second time I isn’t experienced a book with no chapter breaks and continuous prose. This I very much disliked in Roxana and was no better in Mrs Dalloway. Further, such structure makes the plot hard to follow, scene changes are often hard to pick up on. Lastly, the characters had little to no development and I had no care for them when reading, each seemed hollow. Overall it wasn’t my favourite book ever at all.
