I would not have thought of picking up The Hours had I not stumbled upon this beautiful edition. And I did not expect to love it as much as I did, though I can't really explain why. Definitely a case of right book at the right time.

I enjoyed The Hours but not Mrs. Dalloway. The concept of having both books bound together was interesting. It forced me to read Mrs. Dalloway after I finished reading The Hours

The Hours is a delightful read, but it can't quite compare to Woolf's masterfully and delicately crafted work. Mrs. Dalloway is a slower and more enjoyable read simply because you need to indulge in the writing. I first read Mrs. Dalloway and then The Hours. Although I prefer the former, I felt that The Hours helped me reflect and analyze Mrs. Dalloway.
