What novel do I compare Mrs Dalloway to?

Im currently doing NEA in English Lit (Y12) which means I need to create a comparison essay between 2 novels. I think Mrs Dalloway is a great one but Im struggling to find a book in comparison. Im not entirely sure about Wuthering Heights.

Which theme from Mrs Dalloway do you find most interesting? Try finding another book that also tackles that specific theme but in a different way

I did Mrs Dalloway for my edexcel English Lit coursework and I compared it to the Bell Jar. I really liked the comparisons between the two books and I felt it made for a good coursework. They both explore similar societal issues, they’re both post war and grapple with major shifts in social attitudes and norms.
