Title: An intriguing look at the way lives intersect
Product review: Although it took me awhile to get into this book, I ultimately found it to be a rewarding read. For me this book was all about longing, longing for love (lost and current), longing for identity and self, and longing for solace. Each of the three characters brings to the story similar and unique perspectives on these needs. Although I felt for the characters (especially Virginia Woolf), there is a strong sense of aloofness and detachment with these individuals. We are never fully allowed into their worlds, (especially with Mrs Brown) and we are given only minimal insight into the motivations for their actions. This distance can leave the reader feeling somewhat unsatisfied (Why are these people doing what they're doing?). But I think that's the point, it's up to the reader to make up their own mind as to what is going on here. "The Hours" is thoughtful, pensive and open to a variety of interpretations. A quick read but certainly not a "light" one.
