White Oleander (great movie w/Michelle Pfeiffer, Robin Wright, Renee Zellweger ... and a terrific, terrifying book by Janet Fitch)
:hijack: For anyone interested: no movie could ever do the book justice. Fitch’s writing is sublime, equal parts poetic and devastatingly precise as she lands phrases that are swift stab between the ribs so easily you almost miss them at first. 10/10, do recommend, movie is still enjoyable having read the book but you’re doing yourself a disservice by not reading the book first.
