    Brick Lane

    by apacht

    I very much liked the book and so was eager to see the film and was not disappointed.
    The Directort did not attempt to cover everything in the book, instead, she concentrated on
    some key parts of the book without distoring them and weaved the pieces together very well.
    The acting was superb, especially because the lead character expressed so much without
    saying a word.
