Film · 1995 · Directed by Clint Eastwood · Starring Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep
A photographer arriving in a small Iowa town meets a farm wife while her family is away, and four days change both their lives.
The film follows the book's story and keeps its quiet, restrained mood, with the novel's frame of children reading their mother's letters.
The book is brief and moving, a quick read.
