“Less than five years ago Dan himself was believed to have died, at Anzio” (39).
The Anzio landing took place in 1944 during World War II. Laura Brown’s husband, Dan, was in the landing at Anzio, Italy, and upon his return, he married Laura. This is similar to Septimus in Mrs. Dalloway, who also goes to war and marries his wife immediately upon returning. This is just another way that Cunningham creates a parallel story to Mrs. Dalloway.
