Description
Spanning three distinct eras, this novel intricately weaves together the lives of three women connected by Virginia Woolf's seminal novel, "Mrs. Dalloway." In 1923, Woolf herself grapples with her mental health and the creation of her masterpiece. Decades later, in 1950s Los Angeles, a devoted wife and mother plans a birthday party for her husband, mirroring Clarissa Dalloway's own day. Finally, in contemporary New York, a modern-day Clarissa navigates her own complex life, relationships, and the lingering echoes of the past. "The Hours" is a profound exploration of consciousness, the passage of time, and the enduring power of literature to shape our lives.
