Didn't know there was a movie. Right now I am in a library contest to read 4 books this month and each must fit a specific category on a list. I figured this one would be my "Wild Card" but instead I can use it for "Made Into a Movie." Yee haw, box of chocolates here I come! Entries will be drawn for the prize and knowing what I do about this tiny town where I live, I expect my chances to be about 1 in 10.

The Children's Book seems like a good one. "Born at the end of the Victorian era and growing up in the golden summers of Edwardian times, a whole generation grew up unaware of the darkness ahead; in their innocence, they were betrayed unintentionally by the adults who loved them." Sounds like what's old is new again.
