Reading 'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day' by Winifred Watson, set in 1930s. It was made into a movie starring Frances McDormand and Amy Adams. I haven't seen the movie yet but Amy Adams suits her role perfectly I think, like in most of her other movies, which is rather impressive because you always see these group of actors that does roles that are pretty much like all the others.

But anyway, I'm imagining the movie won't be as good as the book, like it never is. I'm enjoying the book though, the kind of humour found in books set in similar times that doesn't deal with darker and deeper theme but simply making fun of class system and the role of women.
