The Book - "With the end of summer closing in and a steamy Labor Day weekend looming in the town of Holton Mills, New Hampshire, lonely, friendless thirteen-year-old Henry spends most of his time watching television, reading, and daydreaming with only his emotionally fragile, long-divorced mother for company. But everything changes on the Thursday before the holiday weekend when a mysterious bleeding man named Frank asks Henry for a hand. Over the next five days, Henry will learn some of life's most valuable lessons, about the breathless pain of jealousy, the power of betrayal, and the importance of putting those we care about above ourselves—and that real love is worth waiting for.
From acclaimed author Joyce Maynard comes a beautiful, poignant tale of love, sex, adolescence, and devastating treachery as seen through the eyes of a young teenager—and the man he later becomes."
The Movie: Kate Winslet is Adele, Josh Brolin is the wounded man, Henry is played by two young actors of 13, and 16 and then by Tobey Maguire as the adult Henry. James Van Der Beek is onboard to play a detective investigating the case.
Jason Reitman is directing; I love what he did with Walter Kim's Up in the Air- Reitman not only directed, he co-wrote the screenplay with Sheldon Turner - this one sounds equally intriguing.
No wonder the Kate's character Adle is depressed - just look at that depressing outfit! I have never seen the glorious Kate Winslet looking so dowdy! You know what that means - serious acting - and probably a transformation.
I'm now adding Labor Day to my TBR pile! How about you; have you read it yet?
