The book was great - but the movie, not so great... One of the biggest points of the book was Lucinda's love of her glassworks, which the filmmakers didn't find so important - AND they changed the ending, on which the whole book balances. I couldn't believe it.
Despite the story problems, Cate Blanchett and Ralph Fiennes were excellent.
