    <body><![CDATA[The movie version of this book seems to cheapen the subtleties and sadness of a story in which the good that people can do to one another and the harm that they can do so often overlap. The pure melancholy that exudes from the two main characters had a lump in my throat throughout my brief reading of this novella. Martin has done one of my favorite things a male writer can do — write deftly and sensitively from the perspective of a female. I really adore this book.]]></body>
