Labor Day by Joyce Maynard is now a movie.... in The Book Book

... starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin.

I read the book a few years ago. I recognized her name because she is the woman who wrote a memoir that included her time with J. D. Salinger. It is called At Home in the World.

Labor Day is the story of a mother and son who take an escaped prisoner home with them and to some degree live happily ever after. It's a good book and I would expect it to be a good movie.

It's coming out around Christmas time, or maybe after the first of the year.
