A daring, deeply affecting third novel by the author of A Home at the End of the World and Flesh and Blood.
In The Hours, Michael Cunningham, widely praised as one of the most gifted writers of his generation, draws inventively on the life and work of Virginia Woolf to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters struggling with the conflicting claims of love and inheritance, hope and despair. The narrative of Woolf's last days before her suicide early in World War II counterpoints the fictional stories of Samuel, a famous poet whose life has been shadowed by his talented and troubled mother, and his lifelong friend Clarissa, who strives to forge a balanced and rewarding life in spite of the demands of friends, lovers, and family.
Passionate, profound, and deeply moving, this is Cunningham's most remarkable achievement to date.

评分Mrs. Woolf: 与Vanessa的亲吻不是发生在离别前,而是在女仆Nelly怒气冲冲的从伦敦买茶品回来后,那个吻因为发生在Nelly转身后,而变成"the most delicious and forbidden of pleasures". 并且,"Vanessa returned the kiss." 在火车站逃离未遂,被赶来的Leonard追上的那幕,...
评分Life tortures men in all means: it batters the poor physically and corrupts the wealthy mentally. Ordinary ones, gaining an innocent but not-that-high salary from their decent job, having a kind yet not-that-beautiful spouse, as well, never escape. It is, h...
