Clarissa prepares to throw a party, and along her way, former lovers, childhood friends, and a suicidal war veteran cross her path. Beneath its apparent simplicity, this premise hides a complex structure in which past and present intertwine in an intricate narrative game. The author uses the rhythmic cadence of her prose—flowing like the consciousness of her characters—, temporal jumps, and different points of view to demonstrate that beneath the figuratively ordered world surrounding Clarissa lies an inner chaos. In this novel, Virginia Woolf breaks with traditional British narrative and proposes a masterful reflection on the passage of time, feminism, and madness.
