So she read the book to see how much was changed and fell in love with the book, which is quite different and told in a wonderful epistolary style. The thing is she had issues with the movie, she thought it odd that a young girl would fall in love with her benefactor and the age difference she found creepy. Now usually it's me that falls in love with books after first seeing the movie, but I guess that turns out to be hereditary. Anyway, my mom became obsessed with this book because of the 1955 film starring Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron. And isn't it the time of year for orphans? It's very bleak Dickensian Christmas to be one. Here we go people! Another orphan story! Can't say my mom wasn't consistent! She liked unconventional families, be they big and rambling, or the families you found after being an orphan.
