Opis

The Hours is an acclaimed literary novel by Michael Cunningham that explores the lives of three women connected across different times and circumstances. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, the novel examines identity, relationships, creativity, and the search for meaning in everyday life.

The story moves between three periods. In the early twentieth century, Virginia Woolf struggles with her writing and her fragile emotional life while working on Mrs Dalloway. Decades later, Laura Brown, a housewife in post-war America, reads Woolf’s novel and begins to question her own life and expectations. In contemporary New York, Clarissa Vaughan prepares for a party celebrating her friend Richard, a poet whose life has been profoundly affected by illness.
