Michael Cunningham's most famous novel intertwines the fates of three women: the eminent English writer Virginia Woolf of Patriarchal Richmond, who is trying to write a new novel, the housewife Laurie Brown of postwar Los Angeles, who is looking for ways to escape from homework and routine and Clarissi Vaughn, a modern New Yok editor . They live in different times, in different cities and even countries, but they are united by Virginia Woolf's book "Mrs. Dellowe" and the magic of time. With each new page in the novel, a new awareness of the deep intertwining of three different destinies opens up.
