Roxy Book Club

The Hours

Join us for our celebration of adaptation: Roxy Book Club! Which is better, the book or the movie? To find out, take the month to read this month’s selection, Michael Cunningham's contemporary classic The Hours. We’ll have a discussion about the book and its adaptation after the film screening.

The Hours is the story of three women searching for more potent, meaningful lives. Each is alive at a different time and place, all are linked by their yearnings and their fears. Their stories intertwine, and finally come together in a surprising, transcendent moment of shared recognition.
