I thought the movie was good representation of the novel.
I loved Miss Oeschner, my HS AP English teacher, and tearing apart 'Tristam Shandy' and Hardy was more fun than reading it. I was trying to figure out how to put a novel length story-line together. But for some reason 'Heart" didn't need to be disassembled, it was a good, but serious, short read. I found that with the "Awakening" period of American women writers, that I never heard of until collage literature classes, that Carson McCuller was just a later tip of a mountain of good literature.
