A tour de force, I read it twice in one sitting. It took him 7 years to do the research for this book, to become Virginia Woolf in three different time periods. Amazing read. A classic, particularly for writers who want to tell a story from different points of view and make it cohesive. Right up there with Kingsolver's Poisonwood Bible.

In the meantime, I'll happy I read The Hours.
Great movie too, by the way. ...more
