An einem Junitag im Jahr 1923 bereitet sich Clarissa Dalloway auf eine ihrer eleganten Abendgesellschaften in London vor. Am Vormittag kauft sie in der Bond Street Blumen und genießt das pulsierende Stadtleben, während sie in Gedanken versunken ist. Clarissa, 51 Jahre alt und aus gutem Hause, reflektiert über ihre Vergangenheit und die Entscheidungen ihres Lebens. Sie fragt sich, warum sie Peter Walsh, den Abenteurer, nicht geheiratet hat, sondern den trockenen Mr. Dalloway. Erinnerungen an ihre Jugend und ihre Liebe zu Sally Seton durchziehen ihren Geist, während sie in einem unaufhörlichen Strom von Gedanken und Fragen schwebt. Parallel dazu kämpft der junge Veteran Septimus Warren Smith mit seinen traumatischen Erlebnissen aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg und kann den Wahnvorstellungen und Visionen nicht entkommen. Weder seine Frau noch der Psychiater Sir William Bradshaw können ihn retten. Am Abend, während Clarissa ihre Gäste empfängt, erfährt sie von Septimus' Selbstmord. In diesem Moment wird ihr bewusst, dass der Tod mitten in ihrer Feierlichkeit präsent ist, und sie spürt ihre eigene Lebendigkeit intensiver als je zuvor.

»Vor dem Einschlafen schaute das Mädchen über die mondbeglänzten Dächer bis zu dem dunklen Wald am Rande der kleinen Stadt, lauschte dem leisen, suchenden Rufen einer Eule und fragte sich, was das Leben ihr wohl bringen würde.« Vom Geschenk des Lebens erzählt dieses Buch, und von der Vorfreude auf das, was kommen mag. Davon, einen Platz zu finden, wo man sich zu Hause fühlt, sich entfalten kann und wo Wünsche in Erfüllung gehen. Etwas zu entdecken, das man pflegen und zum Blühen bringen kann und das man später gerne mit den eigenen Kindern teilt. Den Dingen und den Menschen, die man liebt, Aufmerksamkeit und Zeit zu widmen. Und nicht zu vergessen, dass das Leben endlich ist. Carol Ann Duffy erzählt eine märchenhafte Geschichte, deren schwebende Stimmung in den Illustrationen des britischen Künstlers Rob Ryan wunderbar eingefangen ist. Ryan hat eine alte, schon fast vergessene Kunst zu neuem Leben erweckt: In seinen zarten, detailverliebten Scherenschnitten eröffnet er uns eine Welt voller Zauber und Poesie.

"Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our time, and Rapture is essential reading for the broken-hearted of all ages' - Rose Tremain The effortless virtuosity, directness, drama and humanity of Carol Ann Duffy's verse have made her our most admired and best-loved contemporary poet. Rapture , her seventh collection, is a book-length love-poem, and a moving act of personal testimony; but what sets these poems apart from other treatments of the subject is that Duffy refuses to simplify the contradictions of love, and read its transformations - infatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancour, separation and grief - as simply redemptive or destructive. Rapture is a map of real love, in all its churning complexity. Yet in showing us that a song can be made of even the most painful episodes in our lives, Duffy has accessed a new level of directness that sacrifices nothing in the way of subtlety of expression. These are poems that will find deep rhymes in the experience of most readers, and nowhere has Duffy more eloquently articulated her belief that poetry should speak for us all."
