Reader reviews for The Hours
Review summary
Readers largely praise Michael Cunningham’s novel for precise, musical prose and an unsparing portrait of women navigating desire, duty, and despair. Many find it emotionally resonant and rewarding on reread, noting its depth around depression, suicide, and the pressures of ordinary life. A minority struggled with the pervasive bleakness, the opening’s fictionalized suicide, or a controversial remark about gay culture, and some couldn’t connect despite admiring the style. Overall, the prose and character work drew the most consistent admiration.
