Praise for Mrs Dalloway

I think To The Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway are sheer magic

Mrs Dalloway contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century
