The best things said about it
And then in the end called her novel Mrs dooway a novel about a woman scene from the inside.
Mrs. Dalloway, much more digestible, shorter book.
Maybe you should also read Mrs. Dalloway now after it and then she was making all the connections.

Why people recommend it
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf is a modernist novel that chronicles a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway in post-World War I London while exploring themes of memory, mental illness, and societal change. On The Book Review, host Pamela Paul shared her plans to give the novel a second chance by pairing it with Michael Cunningham's The Hours, noting how readers could draw fascinating connections between the two works. John Williams also mentioned on the podcast that the novel was his favorite older read of the year, describing it as an incredible literary achievement. Discussing the book's psychological depth, Tyler Cowen referenced the character of Septimus while analyzing fictional portraits of mental illness, and David Perell touched upon Woolf's distinctive writing style. In an interview on The Tim Ferriss Show, Claire Hughes Johnson revealed that she ultimately chose Mrs. Dalloway over To the Lighthouse for her college thesis because she loved its structural parallels and found it to be a much more digestible, shorter entry point into Woolf's literary canon.

“I will be honest with you and say when I wrote my thesis in college, I was going to write it on To the Lighthouse, and then I actually decided to write it on Mrs. Dalloway, which is another one of her novels because I love the parallels from Mrs. Dalloway with a book called The Passion by Jeanette Winterson.”
