EXCELLENT book!!! My favorite book of all time. I read it all in one sitting. I could not put it down.
BACK COVER
Passionate, Profound and deeply moving, THE HOURS is the story of three women: Clarissa Vaughan, who one New York morning goes about planning a party in honor of her beloved friend; Laura Brown, who in a 1950's Los Angeles suburb slowly begins to feel the constraints of a perfect family and home; and Virginia Woolf, recuperating with her husband in a London suburb, and beginning to write MRS. DALLOWAY. By the end of the novel, the stories have intertwined, and finally come together in an act of subtle and haunting grace, demonstrating Michael Cunningham's deep empathy for his characters as well as the extraordinary resonance of his prose.
