A review by jomanara_
Mrs.Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

5.0

This book has the best first and last line. And seeing the flowers that had been mentioned in metaphors and more throughout the book to find that Clarissa has a lovely garden!. And Perter’s desperate attempt to move on and get over his love for Clarissa? The last few lines in the book represented the very truth about his love and it made think that: you never fall out of true love.

First line: Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.

Last: "I will come," said Peter, but he sat on for a moment. What is this terror? what is this ecstasy? he thought to himself. What is it that fills me with extraordinary excitement?
It is Clarissa, he said.
For there she was.

And Septimus, the end of his story was very heartbreaking, I felt a glimpse of hope after the last time he spent with Rezia.
And how Clarissa felt herself like him.
So many things to talk about in this book, and the fact that it all happened in one day! It just makes the book even better.
And how Richard went on how it’s a thousand pities not to tell what you feel and eventually he couldn’t tell Clarissa how he loved her, not even in a single word, but he did gave her red and white roses and hold her hand. But it occurred to me: does Clarissa feel anything to Richard? At least in the mean time? And I remembered what she said to Rachel in The Voyage Out (for the Dallaways has been a side characters in this book) she told her that she was sort of lost in her youth until she met Richard.
And this is the end of my nonsense of a review
