I'm reading WILD, having had the pleasure of seeing the film and quite a lot of it sticking in the memory.
In the book she has just crossed over into Oregon.
The book/film is about grief for a mum and the premise is that the mum is the love of the protagonist's life.
Does anyone think it's maybe not healthy for someone's mum to be the love of their life? Or am I must missing out (because mine is batshit crazy and I can't really trust her).
