[edit] Movie
I read in a newspaper that the book has been optioned as a movie. Does anyone have more information on this?
Yeah, sure... here
Dakota Fanning will be playing Lily, Fox Studios has taken on the harrowing task of transforming this "strong-woman-fights-her-way-out-of-some-circumstance-while-gaining-insight-and-growing-emotionally-while-developing-a-forbidden-love-interest" cliche of a book into a profitable movie
Someone was saying this was over saturated with "symbolism" yet I find that it was undersaturated, it was a great book. The reviews were great, and the story was overall just wonderful. I found nothing wrong with it.
