The General's Daughter

Have you ever read a book that feels like it's more than it pretends to be at first read? I have this strange relationship with The General's Daughter. I read it and re-read it. I feel for the woman because I know how it feels like to be mistreated. My Dad's mom didn't like me at all and she voiced plenty of times the same attitude as the general inside the book. Luckily she wasn't my parent, but I do get to understand my dad better each read. We're all the result of our upbringing and childhood experiences, and we need to deal with it as best as possible. Has anyone else read the book, or wants to comment?

I loved the film and the book (which I didn't read until afterwards) was almost identical from what I recall. I thought the film was better as a film than the book as a book, frankly.

I've read it, it's one of his most disturbing ones. I'm a big fan of his writing

@JohnnyNoir Oh yes, it's that alright. Makes one think

@val70 it was a bit of a departure from his other books

There's a follow up/sequel to the book called "up country" with a different storyline.

@akindheart The memories will be always there. It's how one works things out, that matters

Only saw the movie ages ago. Didn't realize it adapted from a book.
