Summary
A novel about three very different women--Virginia Woolf, Clarissa Vaughan, and Laura Brown, whose lives and destinies become intertwined--spans the nation from New York to Los Angeles, and follows them to a haunting and surprising conclusion. (Tie-in to the Miramax film, written by David Hare, directed by Stephen Daldry, and starring Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, and Nicole Kidman.) (General Fiction)
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In The Hours, Michael Cunninghamâwidely praised as one of the most gifted writers of his generationâdraws inventively on the life and work of Virginia Woolf to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters struggling with the conflicting claims of love and inheritance, hope and despair. The narrative of Woolf âs last days before her suicide early in World War II counterpoints the fictional stories of Richard, a famous poet whose life has been shadowed by his talented and troubled mother, and his lifelong friend Clarissa, who strives to forge a balanced and rewarding life in spite of the demands of friends, lovers and family.
Passionate, profound and deeply moving, The Hours is Cunninghamâs most remarkable achievement to date.
