The Hours

I finished The Hours yesterday, and I absolutely loved it. I waited so long to read this novel, but the wait was so worth it.

I read Mrs. Dalloway last summer, and it was interesting to see how much Michael Cunningham drew from Mrs. Dalloway. I really liked how Cunningham had the three-part structure.

The language was very, very beautiful. Cunningham captures Virginia Woolf's stream-of-consciousness style very effectively.

The way he wove all three stories together at the end was brilliant.

The Hours won the Pulitzer in 1999, and it's easy to see why. I strongly recommend this novel.

5/5 stars
