Winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize and Pen Faulkner prize. Made into an
Oscar-winning film, ‘The Hours’ is a daring and deeply affecting novel
inspired by the life and work of Virginia Woolf.
Exiled in Richmond in the 1920s, taken from her beloved Bloomsbury and
watched by her husband Leonard, Virginia Woolf struggles to tame her
rebellious mind and make a start on her new novel.
In the brooding heat of 1940s Los Angeles, a young wife and mother
yearns to escape the claustrophobia of suburban domesticity and read
her precious copy of ‘Mrs Dalloway’.
And in New York in the 1990s, Clarissa Vaughan steps out of her smart
Greenwich Village apartment and goes shopping for flowers for the party
she is giving in honour of her life-long friend Richard, an
award-winning poet whose mind and body are being ravaged by AIDS.
Michael Cunningham’s exquisite and deeply moving novel is a meditation
on artistic behaviour, failure, love and madness. Moving effortlessly
across the decades and between England and America, Cunningham’s
elegant, haunting prose explores the pain and trauma of creativity and
the immutable relationship between writer and reader.
