Having watched the film, and constantly returned to 'the scene' where she is- (I'll not say you know the one I mean),desperately wanting to say..."Oh!! DON'T...DON'T!!" I deemed it best to leave the book alone. I thought it was a very very affecting movie.Half-heard in the Stillnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840301617199033576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-79135268052755090392010-09-09T18:18:21.485+10:002010-09-09T18:18:21.485+10:00I read The Lovely Bones when I was 8 months pregna...I read The Lovely Bones when I was 8 months pregnant with my eldest son, funnily enough. I loved it, even though it was haunting and harrowing.... I went onto read Alice Sebold's 2nd autobiographical book about being raped.... just as harrowing actually. she is a brilliant writer - I'm about to read her third book once I've finished Jeanette Winterson's Stone Gods...<br />Whatever you do though Josephine, do NOT make the mistake of watching the terrible Dreamworks production of Sebold's book. It's a sickly, schmaltzy, fluffiefied adaptation and does the book a huge disservice. Avoid at all costs!<br />I love Leonora Carrington's work too.... saw some in London when I was still living there. Have you seen the wonderful biopic about her sister Dora, and her extraordinary lif with Lytton Strachey? It stars Emma Thompson and is just beautiful. Inspired me to read about their relationship which, like all those Bloomsbury affairs, was incredible! <br />Thanks for sharing as usual, look forward to yr next post xxLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828378519172216346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-66736082824774660162010-09-08T20:17:49.782+10:002010-09-08T20:17:49.782+10:00LOVE Edward Scissorhands, sucha beautiful film!

My reading group frowned upon me, but I simply sat on my hands...and looked guilty. Art and Ghosts is 'heavenly'.

I think it was how everyone seemed so disconnected yet so close. I'll have to read the book for the differences. I found the ending a little challenging.<br />Beautiful pictures on Art and Ghosts!!

Alice Sebold's book Lucky is also worth a read - but it is a true account of what happened to her and it is very harrowing and worrying...really makes you think.
