Wolitzer's early work reflects the mother-daughter relationship

Much darker than her more recent works, this book is likely a reflection of the ambiguous feelings Meg Wolitzer had for her own mother, novelist Hilma Wolitzer -- whose popularity Meg eclipsed with her later novels. Even though I enjoyed the book, I also enjoyed the movie, which was so diferent that it can hardly be said to be the same story. It's no wonder the movie was less intense -- the screenplay was by Nora Ephron and the mother was played by Julie Kavner.
