There are certain books that I want to own hundreds of copies of, so that when I am talking to someone who loves to read I can press a copy into their hands and say, "This. You must read this."
"The Hours" is one of these books. I can only think of a few other authors - Jeanette Winterson and Gabriel Garcia Marquez off the top of my head - that have so moved me with their prose. Such haunting and elegant beauty in the simplest of images, the smallest of instances. Cunningham captures connection and disconnection, the double-edged sword of self-awareness, the rise and fall of day-to-day joy and capitulations to absolute perfection.

"E c'è anche lei, Clarissa, non più la signora Dalloway: non c'è più nessuno a chiamarla così. E ha un'altra ora davanti a sé."

I really enjoyed this book. Being a big fan of Virginia Woolf and her book Mrs. Dalloway this was wonderful. My favorite point of view was Mrs. Brown. There are some very interesting themes throughout the story. I look forward to watching the movie and comparing the two.

Read for school. May have appreciated more if I’d read more Virginia Woolf, but as it was I found it slow and the prose dense, which made it hard to sink into the story
