Query: A book as lovely as it is true.

It's not necessary to read Mrs. Dalloway before reading this, but it helps. Mrs. Dalloway inspires and informs The Hours, and Michael Cunningham references that book in such a way that he reminds you of certain feelings and events without rehashing them. This book was such a joy to read, I inhaled it. And there were so many truths about life and human nature, and not to be trite, but there seemed such wisdom in the storytelling. I am eager to read more by Michael Cunningham.
