The Hours

Intertwined lives echo Virginia Woolf's legacy.

"The Hours" is a beautifully woven tapestry of three women's lives, each a reflection of Woolf's 'Mrs. Dalloway'. This novel will appeal to anyone who's struggled with the confines of societal roles and is seeking the lyrical prose that can transport them through different times and inner worlds. Its acclaim is well-deserved, resonating with readers who appreciate literary depth and the exploration of human consciousness.

Description

In 1920s London, Virginia Woolf is fighting against her rebellious spirit as she attempts to make a start on her new novel. A young wife and mother, broiling in a suburb of 1940s Los Angeles, yearns to escape and read her precious copy of Mrs Dalloway. And Clarissa Vaughan steps out of her smart Greenwich Village apartment in 1990s New York to buy flowers for a party she is hosting for a dying friend. The Hours recasts the classic story of Woolf's Mrs Dalloway in a startling new light. Moving effortlessly across the decades and between England and America, this exquisite novel intertwines the worlds of three unforgettable women.
