“One June day in London in 1923: Clarissa Dalloway prepares for her party, her old love returns from India, and a shell-shocked young veteran she will never meet moves through the same streets toward his death.”

“On a September evening on the Isle of Skye, Mrs Ramsay promises her small son a trip to the lighthouse; ten years, a war and three deaths later, the trip is made, and a painter finishes her picture.”

“A mock biography of a young Elizabethan nobleman who lives for more than three hundred years, wakes one morning in Constantinople as a woman, and is still writing the same long poem in 1928.”
