  • "The story of Virginia Woolf is intertwined with those of two more contmporary women. In 1923, Woolf awakens from a dream that will soon lead to her writing Mrs. Dalloway. In the present, 52-year-old Clarissa Vaughan is planning a party for a poet dying of AIDS. And in Los Angeles in 1949, Laura Brown does her best to prepare for her husband's birthday. These women's lives are linked both by the 1925 novel and by a few precious moments of insight."

  • "Exiled in Richmond in the 1920s, Virginia Woolf struggles to tame her rebellious mind and make a start on her new novel. In 1990s New York, Clarissa Vaughan goes shopping for flowers for a party for her AIDS-suffering poet-friend. This novel meditates on artistic behaviour, love and madness."@en
  • "The story of three women from different periods of time who share a connection through a novel that helps them find meaning in their lives."@en
  • "The Hours is both a homage to Virginia Woolf and very much its own creature. One grey suburban London morning in 1923, Woolf awakens from a dream that will soon lead to 'Mrs.Dalloway'. In the present, on a beautiful June day in Greenwich Village, 52-year-old Clarissa Vaughan is planning a party for her oldest love, a poet dying of an AIDS-related illness. And in Los Angeles in 1949, Laura Brown, pregnant and unsettled, does her best to prepare for her husband's birthday, but can't seem to stop reading Woolf. These women's lives are linked both by the 1925 novel and by the few precious moments of possibility each keeps returning to."@en
