So I have never read this book and I have only seen snippets of the movie. The parts that I did see of the movie were not pleasant nor endearing. However, clearly I was taking what I saw out of context. I thought the burning of the hair was purposely done. I thought the relationships between the sisters were more rivalry than compassionate. I never saw love for their mother. Now that I am reading the book I see a sweet story evolving. I am happy to be reading this book! I have enjoyed it.
