Michael Cunninghams Pulitzerprisvindende "TIMERNE" skildrer tre dage i tre vidt forskellige kvinders liv. Clarissa Vaughan, forlagsredaktør i 1990'ernes New York, forbereder et selskab for sin ven, digteren Richard, og går en smuk junimorgen ud for at købe blomster. Virginia Woolf er mere end 70 år tidligere i færd med at skrive sin berømte roman "Mrs. Dalloway" og overvejer forskellige åbninger. I Los Angeles i 1949 er den hjemmegående husmor Laura Brown netop begyndt at læse "Mrs. Dalloway", men afbrydes, fordi sønnen Richie og ægtemanden Dan kræver hendes opmærksomhed.

Det er november 2004. 38-årige Barrett Meeks er nok engang ramt af kærlighedskvaler og går nedbtrykt gennem Central Park. Pludselig ser han et blegt, gennemskinneligt lys på nattehimlen. Barrett tror ikke på åbenbaringer – og heller ikke på Gud – men han kan ikke benægte det, han har oplevet. Samtidig, i den mindre mondæne del af Brooklyn, kæmper Barretts ældre bror, musikeren Tyler, med at skrive en bryllupssang til sin kommende hustru, Beth. Beth er alvorligt syg, og Tyler er fast besluttet på, at sangen skal stå som et varigt udtryk for hans kærlighed til hende.
