The only reason I compare books to movies is because I find it interesting to see what artistic choices are made when adapting the written word to a visual medium like film. I understand that both are completely different art forms so they can’t possibly be the same. When I compare books to movies I don’t really care about the small differences between the two, I don’t care about things that were cut. When I wrote it, I never thought about music in the background, but now I put the music on sometimes when I clean the house.” The first time I saw it without music it had a very different feel, and it took a while to get used to the soundtrack.

Here’s what Patty Dann had to say about the process of adapting her novel: The movie came out shortly after in 1990.
Mermaids, written by Patty Dann, was published in 1986. A book that I haven’t read! I had to rectify that immediately. And I’ve continued watching it, again and again, over the years. So imagine my surprise when I recently discovered that my beloved Mermaids is actually based on a book.
I remember watching it as a kid, I think I may have even seen it in the theater with my mom. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the movie Mermaids.
