the hours

Last night I finished The Hours, by Michael Cunningham. I highly recommend this book. It follows three story lines, each one day of the life in a woman, and the more you read the more you realize how interwoven they are. The first woman is Virginia Woolf--the day she started writing Mrs. Dalloway. The second woman is a woman named Laura who lives in the 50s. The second woman is Clarissa, whom her best friend calls Mrs. Dalloway--she lives in New York in the 90s. It's a beautifully written book, such amazing observations about being human. 226 pages.
