Direct and vivid in its telling of the details of a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, the novel manages ultimately to deliver much more. It is the feelings that loom behind those daily events - the social alliances, the shopkeeper's exchange, the fact of death--that give Mrs. Dalloway texture and richness.
