Those stories are a part of the larger story, and it works well. I also like the fact that the characters are really accessible - very realistic. <br /><br />About the filming? I think an adaptation suffers when it doesn't respect the original story's sense of place, local culture (including names) and characters. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
