![]() ![]() ![]() Channelling the spirit of Woolf’s modernist tales, he crafts an expansive yet intimate narrative of the twentieth century and its tragedies. Cunningham’s novel - which was adapted into an award-winning film by Stephen Daldry starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore - relates the lives of these three women in subtle, asymmetric ways. In New York in 1999, Clarissa Vaughan is throwing a party for her sometime-lover who is dying of AIDS. In Los Angeles in 1949, Laura Brown struggles with motherhood and the role of the suburban housewife. In London in 1923, the writer Virginia Woolf is making a start on the novel that will become her acclaimed Mrs Dalloway. This February, we will be discussing Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Hours. Everyone is invited to join us and our special guests to discuss a really popular book, one that we all know and perhaps or perhaps not love. The Really Popular Book Club is the reading group hosted by Cambridge University Libraries. ![]()
