The narrative of Woolf's last days before her suicide early in World War I 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePassionate, profound, and deeply moving, this is Cunningham's most remarkable achievement to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480274690321,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781250239358.jpg?v=1777545128","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-hours-by-michael-cunningham","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
