Mrs DallowayYou all know the Great Beginnings drill. Today’s is from Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel Mrs Dalloway:

Some believe that you can tell a great deal about a book by its opening line. If so, what does this opening tell us about Woolf’s novel? What questions are raised by this first line? What do we learn?
