It's been a couple of years now since I watched it so I might be able to come to the book without having messed up the reading experience too much.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the story about how it came to be reprinted.

Do check it out.<br /><br />But yes--I'm so grateful to publishing houses like Persephone for brining "literary gems," as you say, back into circulation.
