I'm not sure... it's been 25 years at least since I read the book. However... I don't think the "liberation" of that world was quite as hopeful in the book as it was portrayed in the movie.

So how close was it to the book?It's been a awhile since I last read it to the kids, so I'm not real sure, but Clare seems to think it was pretty close. She was complaining about Mrs. Murry's hair, though. According to the book, it shoulda been flaming red.
We just started the book again the other night. I'm reading it aloud for the kids and SSQ.
