In short - absolutely beautiful.

The intertwining of three destinies, this triptych of days, lives, hours, this inner look into humanity and what it means was lovely to read. I haven't been this excited about a book in a long, long time!

Virginia Woolf's books were pretty much the only ones that haven't felt like a chore this past year and a half of my university career. In reading, I identified - and it kept me sane, wanting to read more, wanting to understand. And 'The Hours' provides just that - a deeper (very thoroughly researched) understanding not only of Woolf herself, of the characters, of how the both the original and the 'new' mrs. Dalloway work - but of yourself, too (a vital component).

One read done out of what I hope will be many more. So excited to work on this for my BA thesis.
