I hadn't read the book and tuned into this one afternoon hoping for a good drama. Unfortunately it just looked like the people were reading the parts and didn't put any enthusiasm into the role. The best of the lot was Cusack but the others just didn't seem to have any personality. Plus the plot twists were predictable. The scenery was lovely but the characters all seemed two dimensional with no depth to them at all. Plus I didn't think that the main character would sleep with someone 2 weeks after the death of his wife. I also found it unbelievable that having lived in a village for over 10 years, his only friend was the woman who'd just moved in.
