I loved the book when I read it in the 80's and looked forward to this movie but I was let down.I'm not a purist and don't usually mind different interpretations of a fictional story, There was no character development whatsoever, the acting was mediocre, though Alfre Woodard stood out and I wish she had been shown more As she was the best part of the movie for me, though she was hardly in it, and I can't say it enough, there was nothing really happening with the story to keep me interested.A little backstory on anyone would have been nice, an actual view of the budding romance that was taking place to help us actually feel the main characters grief, anything at all other than the bland scenes we got.Unfortunately an utterly forgettable film.Not Recommended..
