The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman (One of my favorite books)
A dark family saga of Elv, Megan and Claire Story, sisters plagued by uncommon sadness. As a child, Elv spun fairy tales of a magical world for her sisters, but a period of savage sexual abuse—information about which slowly leaks out—sends her spiraling into years of drug addiction and painful self-abuse. Elv's story is unrelentingly grim. Tragedy after tragedy befalls the family—Elv's commitment to a juvenile rehab facility, a deadly accident, a fatal illness and betrayal after betrayal. When the last third of the book turns to focus on Claire, who has been so damaged by the family crises that she refuses to speak, the slight glimmers of hope and goodness are too little, too late.
And my picks for the parts.........
Zooey Deschanel as Claire Story, I think Zooey could pull it off- Claire is quiet and becomes a depressed withdrawn girl.
Selma Blair as Megan Story, she would play the older teen part- as Megan doesn't make it into the adult story of Elv and Claire.
Emily Blunt as Elv Story....Elv is a hard one, she has to be beautiful but edgy. She's mysterious yet tortured. Then she is mad and addicted to herion- definitely a hard role to pull off, but she was really good in Sunshine Cleaning.
Jennifer Connelly as the girls mother, who struggles with all drama and trys to save Elv........her character is young for a mother of 3.
Lastly...my pick for Lorry, Elv's boyfriend is Robert Pattinson....I know he's crazy popular right now- but Lorry needs to be a guy who is wicked handsome, but can pull off tortured drug addict, I thought Robert looks the part. So what do you think?????

I haven't read this book - :( It makes this meme funner! I really like Zoey though, great actress.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this one, but I like your choice of actresses! I have to admit, I'm not much of a Rob Pattinson fan, but from how you describe the character, I think he could play the part! Thanks for linking up! :)
