"I watched the 2001 "teleplay" movie starring that brilliant artist, Emma Thompson. I was emotionally and mentally drained for days afterwards. This movie, and events that would happen shortly after watching this play, caused me to make drastic changes in my professional life. I don't regret them. I traveled more, dated more, read more, watched more art house movies, and just LIVED and risked more." — Sep 09, 2019 01:14PM

| I'm looking forward to the movie version of this novel. I wasn't as impressed with this novel as I was with A Man Called Ove, but the trailer for this movie looks promising. I found this one a bit repetitive. The other hockey team based stories all s ...more | |

"This book might be the perfect book club read for 2019. There is plenty to chew on and discuss within this slender volume. The bulk of the story is one long conversation that takes place over the course of two days - the women of an isolated Menno..."

The women have three options they can choose from, but they can choose only one. 1. Do nothing. But perhaps one is enough. Perhaps that one op..." Read more of this review » |
