The Hours

by

Michael Cunningham

Ray is Kitty’s husband. He never physically appears in the story and is only mentioned in passing. He served in the military and was captured as a prisoner of war, an experienced that prematurely aged him. Laura initially believes that Ray is the reason Kitty has no children, but the actual reason turns out to be a growth on Kitty’s uterus.
