But we see so much in the book from Charlotte's point-of-view, and I think that makes for a richer story.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-90972363697350713832017-03-17T04:28:06.990-05:002017-03-17T04:28:06.990-05:00I really want to read this and see the movie!I really want to read this and see the movie!Amanda R.http://www.figandthistlebooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-33899763450737188752017-03-14T22:41:59.129-05:002017-03-14T22:41:59.129-05:00I was reading that Bette Davis worked on the scrip...I was reading that Bette Davis worked on the script herself, and that she incorporated more of the book's dialogue into the script.

I haven't had much restraint this year at all, but I'm trying to do better. As for Now, Voyager I've only seen parts of this movie (and I've never read the book)...but I feel like I really need to watch the whole thing. Maybe next weekend, if my library has a copy. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.com
