In this book "The Hours." From what i can remember. Is a story of three women one an author who has depression and struggles with lifes crueltys. One is a house wife who is struggling with the fact that she conformed to the role that she was bound to take, When that was not what she wanted at all and eventaully left home. Leaving behind her son Richard. the third women is a companion torichard who is dying from aids and with dealing his struggles of his mother leaving him and his aids his friend learns more about herself to. It is a very powerful story. a very emotional story. It is however a very slow read, with bouncing between all charcters and storytimes. it can get annyoing. But it is a great read.
