Mrs. Dalloway

This was a very different book, it was not set up like most books. It was not broken up into chapters and the book was constantly jumping back to past memories. The book is following Clarissa as she is trying to find meaning in her life. On the surface she has a really great life filled with parties and a glamoures social life. But underneath she is really question herself and the decisions that brought her to this point. She is remembering back to events in her life and specifically she questions her choice of marrying Robert, who was stable and dependent, but not exciting and her choice of not marrying Peter. In the end she comes to the conclusion that while she may not be completely happy with her life, she does have a good life and she should accept that fact.
