The Hours by Michael Cunningham

4.0

Never have I savoured such melancholy! Although the main characters live with pensive sadness, I was quite content to while away "the hours" reading this Pulitzer Prize-winning book (deceptively quite short in pages; the story is long in ideas, requiring much reflection). So now I am intrigued enough to seek out the 2002 movie (starring Meryl Streep! Nicole Kidman! Julianne Moore!) and compare the two literary experiences.
