I've always wanted to see a movie version of it. Supposedly one is in the works, but the last news I read of it (with Julie Andrews as the grandmother!) was two years ago and there's nothing on imdb.com which tends to be current with any movie in actual prodcution. Maybe it all fell through.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-42441303923920126112013-02-27T18:55:02.654-08:002013-02-27T18:55:02.654-08:00It is a great book, isn't it?

I did not read it in detail because there were spoilers, but I was surprised to learn about them. I should not have been so surprised, since all of the books I have read so far (recently) have contained some element of romance.
