This book was much worse than the brilliant film made by Istvan Szabo- read my review. This made me wonder if there are other examples of film interpretation of the book being better than the book itself. Can you name any?

Jukka Aakula I disagree - I liked this book a lot - was ofcourse quite different from the film

I still cannot wrap my head around why Barbara married Heinze/Hendrik. It nags me. What would go through someone's mind to marry out of pity? Was she so terminally bored and reserved that she thought: "Why not?" Seems so casual and I don't understand it.

Don_Leote They both were gay, so it was some kind of disguise for them.
