| book description |

Winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize and Pen Faulkner prize. Made into an Oscar-winning film, â€˜The Hoursâ€™ is a daring and deeply affecting novel inspired by the life and work of Virginia Woolf. Exiled in Richmond in the 1920s, taken from her beloved Bloomsbury and watched by her husband Leonard, Virginia Woolf struggles to tame her rebellious mind and make a start on her new novel. In the brooding heat of 1940s Los Angeles, a young wife and mother yearns to escape the claustrophobia of suburban domesticity and read her precious copy of â€˜Mrs Dallowayâ€™. And in New York in the 1990s, Clarissa Vaughan steps out of her smart Greenwich Village apartment and goes shopping for flowers for the party she is giving in honour of her life-long friend Richard, an award-winning poet whose mind and body are being ravaged by AIDS. Michael Cunninghamâ€™s exquisite and deeply moving novel is a meditation on artistic behaviour, failure, love and madness. Moving effortlessly across the decades and between England and America, Cunninghamâ€™s elegant, haunting prose explores the pain and trauma of creativity and the immutable relationship between writer and reader.
