Reading the book,
whilst watching a small screen adaption,
leads me to love the book all the more.
True to the original?
There is a lot of artistic licence
in a screenplay.
The dumbing down of the plot,
recognisable actors and actresses
littering the quaint English villages,
all squeezed into a two hours’ view.
The book is where it all stems from,
and seems to me to be
where it all makes sense.
