Each is alive at a different time and place; all are linked by their yearnings and their fears. Virginia Woolf, in a suburb of London in the early 1920's, is battling insanity as she begins to write her first great novel, "Mrs. Dalloway". Laura Brown, a wife and mother in Los Angeles at the end of World War Two, is reading "Mrs. Dalloway", and finding is so revelatory that she begins to consider making a devastating change in her life. Clarissa Vaughan, a contemporary version of Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, lives in New York City Today, and is in love with her friend Richard,a brilliant poet who is dying of AIDS. Their stories interwine, and finally come together in a surprising, transcendent moment of shared recognition. |
