Gorgeous book, I read it a few years ago and since then I have read it about 5 more times. It is my pick up and read from any chapter book that I read if I am feeling a bit spiritually flat. I love love love it. I am preparing myself for the movie to be nothing like the book! Once you have read it you can see how the tiny nuances and feelings that she describes won't be able to come out on big screen but I want to see it anyway!! Happy reading - are you going to read before you see the movie or the other way around??
