In 1951, housewife Laura Brown is profoundly affected by reading Mrs Dalloway. She re-evaluates her life and realises her unhappiness despite a loyal husband and a beautiful son. Finally, in 2001, lesbian book editor Clarissa Vaughan plans a swanky party to celebrate a prestigious award won by her poet friend Richard Brown.
