It's directed by the author Saijie Dai. How often has that happened in movies? You know the director isn't taking liberties with the story--talk about total vision.

A second book for the Lit Flicks Challenge! I hadn't heard of this book before, but it sounds interesting. I'll be interested to read your thoughts on the movie. Whew!

I quite enjoyed it when I read it a few years ago. The film is pretty good and quite close to the book if I remember correctly, it's been a while. I love the cover too!

Doesn't sound too promising for me, then, as I have a hard time remembering as it is. I've had this one on my radar for a while, but I might have to pick it up and browse through it before hastily purchasing it. Eeks–already forgot the ending?

I may have to seek it out at the library. I hadn’t heard of this, but I think the cover is lovely. I may have to seek it out at the library.
