Our Take
Three women across three eras, all touched by Mrs Dalloway, all considering their options. Cunningham writes the weight of an unlived life with extraordinary precision. Laura Brown in the 1950s is the most suffocating portrait of domestic entrapment in contemporary fiction. The death at the centre is not where you expect it.
