Not Bad TV flick but book is, of course, much better!
This is one of my very guilty pleasures to watch when I can catch it, like today. But the book, a "paperback-novel", is much better. It explains is far more detail why "Michael" has resurfaced after all these years.
A couple of the characters were combined to make one character which, I think, actually, ruins a bit of the original story. I would love to discuss the book vs the movie if anyone else is interested.
You can watch this right now on Youtube. I hope it will be up for a long time since it's only a TV film. The film catches the mood of the book very well but I think the story is compromised because they chose to combine Doremus with Helen's ex-husband.
