The Hours by Michael Cunningham

Spotlight from my bookshelf.












 
 
 
The Hours 
Michael Cunningham
(1999, 4th Estate Ltd)

Michael Cunningham takes Virginia Woolf's life as the inspiration for a meditation on artistic endeavour, failure,  love and madness.

Moving effortlessly across the decades and between England and America, Cunningham's elegant, haunting  prose explores the pain and trauma of creativity and the immutable relationship between writer and reader.
