Movie v. book

I liked the novel a lot more than the movie and they are completely different. One difference is Polly buys another house for Tom, a rustic country retreat complete with an old couple to keep it up when it's not being used. Tom liked it very much, but didn't spend a lot of time there and she never told him how expensive it was to make it look rustic. Polly didn't realize that when she was making her husband into someone Roosevelt could not get along without and moved him to Washington, it would take him away from her and their hideaway. In the book the woman Tom takes up with is not a blind Dutch refugee, but an attractive woman he was thrown together with at his job in Washington. They do fall in love and I think marry. Polly is left without Tom or Bob or B.F. It was a hard lesson she had to learn and she paid the price.
