" I watched the movie "The Prizewinner" with Julianne Moore a few years back. I knew that it was based on a true story, but did not realize that there was already a book. I really enjoyed the movie, and was struck with the positive and optimistic outlook this woman had despite her married and financial circumstances. She still managed to be a joyful mother, and I'm not sure I could have! So when I saw the book, I wanted to read it. It was a good story, but for some reason I think I liked the movie better than the book this time...maybe because I saw it first? Now I want to watch it again to see if I'm remembering right. "
