The film Adore is based on this book. I‘m addicted to it. It‘s like Blackfish. Watch it all the way thru & start it again. Finally bought the book. Good enough, but different. Meaner and with less char depth. Has the strangest premise, but this explains it. I am thoroughly absorbed by this one character and his sexual and emotional earnestness. That part is in both.

The film Adore based on this book. I‘m addicted to it. It‘s like Blackfish. Watch it all the way thru & start it again. I just bought the book! Saw it yrs ago on netflix. Watched it nine times since! It is the strangest premise. I finally found this article. This is it. I am thoroughly absorbed by this one character and his sexual and emotional earnestness.

MMFinck I am also fascinated by the directorial editing. Every *single* gesture and line means something! 5y
MMFinck PS It is no longer on Netflix, but it is on Amazon Prime 5y

#JennasFinalProject I absolutely have my Grandma Sarah (on the left) to thank for my gift of reading💗She was a school librarian for over 45 years and she always filled our childhood home with books. My grandma Esther (on the right) was responsible for my love of fashion, music and accessories. She was a dance instructor and fashionista, always finding trinkets and treasures on her many travels💝Good luck on your final project!

Texreader Yay grandmas!! 7y
Cinfhen For sure! Grandma's rule @Texreader 💕💕 7y

Cinfhen So true @LauraBeth @Reviewsbylola Grandma Esther was BOSS - like you ALWAYS wanted her to babysit because Grandma Sarah was no nonsense...but she always brought a bag full of books! Of course my younger brothers had no interest in books... (edited) 7y

My first Lessing. Really enjoyed three of the stories, skipped one. Love her writing. I might be ready for The Golden Notebook soon!!

emilyesears I had never heard of Doris Lessing until yesterday when I read a quote by her in Spinster by Kate Bolick. I'm definitely interested in checking out her work. 7y

Next up, I'm reading my first Doris Lessing. I thought a book of novellas would be a nice starting point.

LeahBergen Have you seen the movie based on The Grandmothers? It's called "Adore". 8y
Bibliotini @LeahBergen - not yet but one reason I'm reading it. 8y
