But the cast is terrific so I will probably be able to forgive them for the changes. Although, honestly, I can't imagine why you'd need to change anything. Maybe just to get them out of the apartment more?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-14469544282995407332016-03-24T13:31:41.299-05:002016-03-24T13:31:41.299-05:00If you're an audio person, I highly recommend ...If you're an audio person, I highly recommend looking for it on audio.

I didn't have a problem believing that Miss Pettigrews existed, and still do. I loved watching Miss Pettigrew blooming after being in a closet for so long--there is no way she could go back after that! <br /><br />Glad you got the chance to enjoy this book--Frances McDormand was marvelous in the movie too, even though they changed some fairly important details.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-8625301093798242432016-02-29T14:04:59.814-06:002016-02-29T14:04:59.814-06:00Oh I love this kind of story!

Though I agree that the blurb from the publisher is just strange. Do they not have spell check?

Miss Pettigrew was one of them. I like the period charm, social history detail. Usually they're thought-provoking. With the magazine and each book comes the bonus of a bookmark showing period fabric and wallpaper designs. Interesting to know about the audio and movie.
