The narrative of Woolf's last days before her suicide early in World War II counterpoints the fictional stories of Samuel, a famous poet whose life has been shadowed by his talented and troubled mother, and his lifelong friend Clarissa, who strives to forge a balanced and rewarding life in spite of the demands of friends, lovers, and family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePassionate, profound, and deeply moving, this is Cunningham's most remarkable achievement to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Cunningham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312243022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312243029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e31227 \/ Hours\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pulitzer Prize - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Book Sense Book of the Year Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Boston Book Review - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1998 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/14\/2000 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/23\/2000 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/25\/2001 pg. 74","brand":"Michael Cunningham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052295057663,"sku":"9780312243029","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4968eda-ebb3-4635-92c9-9b69fbf85e4d.jpg?v=1685018011","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hours-michael-cunningham-9780312243029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
