This is definitely a situation where the movie is better than the book. I saw the movie a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it. The movie was just lovely in all respects. But I did feel the movie could have done a bit better job explaining some of the character's motivations. So, I read the book expecting perhaps to discern some of that. But no. If anything, the movie actually explained some things better than the book. To be honest, I was actually pretty disappointed in the book. I'm grateful that I didn't try to read the book first as I might have skipped the movie! This is the same situation I found myself in with Julie and Julia; great movie; terrible book!
