The Hours by Michael Cunningham
5.0
emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

i didn’t think woolf’s prose was remotely replicable, but cunningham attempts & for the most part succeeds to channel her voice. very thoughtful phrasing and plenty of room for rumination, the characters’ thoughts become yours and vice versa. i wasn’t sure how he was going to tie the storylines together toward the end & as soon as i figured it out, i gasped so loud. so so intelligent & thought provoking & memorable! absolutely fabulous!
