This would have to go somewhere in my top 10 list of all-time favorite books. Beautiful and sad at the same time. It's especially powerful, I think, because of the juxtaposition of the nostalgic and deeply introspective Mrs. Dalloway, looking back over her life as she gets ready for a party, and the tragically sad story of a shell-shocked soldier whose life intersects hers in random ways as the story progresses.
