I loved the novel so much that I was quick to read the next and the next. Some parts of the book to the film went from wonderfully unique to doldrum. She's a DR Brown who didn't come to Ireland for necessarily doe eyed reasons.. Aemon's story happened nearly 50 years prior, she was drawn to him firstly because of his cologne, Griff was an awkward red haired Irish man, the school was an all boys school and she was teaching orchestra which was more in line with her actual story. I gathered that the nephew Billy was an old man. I wish they had been more in line with the actual novel because it was wonderful!
