Before the movie, you have time to read/re-read the novel. We adore Kate Winslet & look forward to the film (& Leo, of course)...but with some trepidation. Having any connection with the late novelist (which we do) causes some concern. We're on the verge of letting that go, though. Film production promises on RR have come & gone for so many years that we decided to believe it when it actually happened. That time is nearly here.
