A few years ago, some of her books were republished by (I think) Stark House, but I don't think The Blank Wall (which many think is her best book) was among them.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-955163108954877022012-10-04T08:08:34.372-07:002012-10-04T08:08:34.372-07:00Darn it, you make me want to read it.

Well worth seeking out. The remake is indeed The Deep End (2001), with Tilda Swinton and Goran Visnjic and a switch in gender for the child. I like the older version better, but it's a close-run thing.<br /><br />CristianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-37328881574096818082012-10-03T16:19:12.523-07:002012-10-03T16:19:12.523-07:00Have you sold this yet?
