The Law of Enclosures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Law of Enclosures is a 1996 novel by Dale Peck, which was adapted into a film in 1999 by Canadian director John Greyson.

A cross between a conventional novel and a memoir, the book dramatizes the marital relationship of Henry and Beatrice, characters based on Peck's real-life parents, depicted in alternating time frames ranging from a young couple first falling in love to an older couple renewing their bond after 40 years of marriage.

The novel was adapted into a film, also called The Law of Enclosures, by director John Greyson in 1999.
