<DIV>Dear Molly--</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In Robin Lippincott's <EM>Mr. Dalloway</EM>, which I reviewed (along with a couple of other Woolf-inspired novels) some years ago in the <EM>Woolf Studies Annual, </EM>it is a solar eclipse which is seen to be a clue to dating--and is at the center of the day in June the "novella" involves.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I recall, I rather liked the allusion, having been lucky enough to witness a solar eclipse myself. Clearly an eclipse is more special, the solstice being an annual occurrence.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hoping your summer is happy--</DIV>
<DIV>Karen</DIV>
