HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of high-society – vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface, yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the surface of all of Woolf’s characters in Mrs Dalloway. Centred around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that haunts each person. One of Virginia Woolf’s most accomplished novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying existence.

devastating day. Nothing will ever be the same. Suitable for

Don't miss Refugee, Grenade and Allies by Alan Gratz. REVIEWS With
his signature accessibility and insight, Gratz tackles events on
both U.S. soil and abroad in Ground Zero..... Ground Zero will
appeal to middle-grade readers, who were born after the events of
9/11, and to those adults who lived through it and will never
forget. - Booklist Gratz moves back and forth between the two
narratives in short, nail-biting chapters that create a vivid
picture of each setting and make readers feel invested in each
character's relationships and choices, and in the high-stakes
global forces that affect the intimate details of their lives.
-Horn Book Gratz's deeply moving writing paints vivid images of the
loss and fear of those who lived through the trauma of 9/11. -
Kirkus This tautly paced novel explores the events of that tragedy
and the subsequent American response through two parallel story
lines. - Publishers Weekly
