June was a much better month for reading so lets just get into it! The Hours by Michael Cunningham (Bookclub Choice) This book was a pleasant surprise. I do love Virginia Woolf and I am always a sucker for a tragic, slightly mad, woman story. Following three women (Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway, and Mrs. Brown) I don’t always love a multiple timeline story, but the interweaving of the three women was prosaic in the most perfect way. The writing itself was what was really the joy. Really just this side of poetry with the tempo of the writing and storytelling. Each woman struggling in her own way, each story tragic in its own right. I haven’t watched the movie so I cannot compare the two, and while I absolutely adore Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to sully the experience of reading this. I know in my heart the movie could never measure up. A beautiful read.
