I thought it was a brilliant film adaptation. Having a novel that’s about 95% inner monologue definitely presents a challenge when turning it into a narrative feature, and I felt Luca Guadagnino and James Ivory did a fantastic job of fleshing out the other characters.
Just finished The Art of Racing in the Rain.. Your first cry won’t be your last with this book. Great book but requires a box of tissues. lol @Catarina
Rula I’m sorry you feel that you need to leave this fabulous group. We all don’t need to agree with all the comments that are made. If my comments have made you think this way I apologise. ?
So far this year: Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis, Hunger by Roxanne Gay, The Outlander by Gil Adamson, Burial Rights by Hannah Kent and The View from the Cheap Seats by Neil Gaiman. Bonus tearjerker: The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

The Proud Breed by Celeste DeBlasis. It was written back in the late 1970s. I read it once and cried several times. It’s a wonderful book, but it’s so sad, I refuse to read it again.

@Jeff Good to know! I found the movie intriguing and beautiful but I worried about how much of the story was getting “lost in translation”
@Ariel there is actually so much more the movie wasn’t able to include that really enriches the narrative
