The Hours

I only finally saw The Hours during the ankle recovery. Was transfixed, haunted, must see it again. So it seemed natural to pick up a copy of the book, and I read it this week in three gulps. It is the first book since The English Patient that affected me in this particular way, where it seemed that I was bruising the book by reading it. Perhaps one of these settles into your lap every decade.

I loved that movie. I have seen it at least five times. That scene when she's going to leave Richie and he's crying after the car? My God, that sent me reeling every time. I thought all the acting was great but particularly thought that Toni Colette was excellent in her scene.
