 And yet, there it is, cheap, available, and full of nonsense! Thanks for the information.

If one were to remove "Mrs. Dalloway" and insert the title of another novel about a well-to-do woman in London in a "post-war" era not much would change. The paucity of any specificity is just truly awesome—and so is the repetition. The reader is reminded twice that stream of consciousness is the technique in the novel and that "moments" are so critically important that they should also be mentioned not once, not twice, but thrice! Also, the relentless "clusters of three" bombard the reader ("characters, places, and moments," "thoughts, feelings, and motivations from moment to moment," "vivid imagery, complex characters, and its exploration of themes that remain relevant today" [but relevant how?], and, of course, the essential satisfying closure: "a story of love, loss, and the beauty of life").  
 
  
 
Thank you, Sarah, for providing such a hilarious overview from the horrifying typo “fist” onward!

Amazon (UK) has the pub date as 28 Dec 2022, ISBN 979-8-9864196-3-3, pub. Little Griffin Press (apparently based in Coconut Creek, FL; the text is based on the first American edition). There's a 'Look inside' on Amazon; the imprint page doesn't inspire confidence, saying as it does: 'Fist Printing: 2022'. 
I think it's a school edition. This is the blurb:



Mrs. Dalloway is a gripping story of a woman's journey of self-discovery in post-war England. It follows Clarissa Dalloway, a wealthy, upper-class woman in London, as she navigates a rapidly changing world and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The novel is filled with vivid descriptions of characters, places, and moments and captures the intricacies of life in London after the war.

Mrs. Dalloway is an experimental novel in which the narrative is not divided into chapters. Instead, the story is told in a continuous stream of consciousness, allowing the reader to experience the characters and settings as if they were directly present. Woolf's use of this technique creates a powerful and emotionally engaging reading experience, as the reader is able to follow the characters' thoughts, feelings, and motivations from moment to moment.

It follows Clarissa as she reflects on her life and her relationships with the people around her, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the meaning of life. The novel is written in an innovative, stream-of-consciousness style that gives readers an intimate look at Clarissa's thoughts and feelings. It has been praised for its vivid imagery, complex characters, and its exploration of themes that remain relevant today.

Mrs. Dalloway is a timeless classic that speaks to the human experience of trying to find meaning and purpose in life. It is a story of love, loss, and the beauty of life.

This Legacy Classics Annotated Edition includes:

    The 1925 first American edition text, introduced and annotated by Mara Lucas
    Analysis of Common Themes
    Historical Context
    Character Exploration
    Author Biography



The introductory material is written in the same simplistic fashion. 'About the Author' alternative facts: VW was educated at the Royal College of Music, and AROO was about mental illness. Wonder no longer about the exact day the novel was set (if any); this editor states categorically that it's 15 June.The book is very cheap: £6.99 sterling, suggesting it's priced for schools.
