I recently read this short story in my Women's Literature class at my college. It definitely was something else and it really opens you up to how the lifestyle was in that time. I enjoyed your review of the movie and story. I was, and still am, unsure about watching the movie since the story was so well written. We'll see how that turns out.
I think that another story you might enjoy, that was also adapted into a movie, is "Where are you going, Where have you been" by Joyce Carol Oats. The movie is called "Smooth Talk." I personally haven't seen it, but the short story creeped me out pretty good. Let me know what you think!
Ooo, thank you. I will definitely check those out.
And the movie isn't even the same story. It really just has the same name and that's it. But the BBC version was okay. Although the quality on Youtube kind of sucked. Either way, thanks! I'll look those up. :D
