The book behind the movie

Rare Objects

by Kathleen Tessaro

Katie Holmes's film directly retains Maeve's release from psychiatric treatment, effort to rebuild through work in an antiques business, renewed connection with the wealthy and unstable Diana, and the idea that damaged objects and people can be assigned value through the stories surrounding them. It moves Tessaro's Depression-era Boston narrative to contemporary New York, changes Maeve's family, workplace, friendships, and romantic circumstances, and reshapes the plot around modern recovery. The novel provides a historically specific Irish American heroine and a denser examination of class performance, drinking, institutionalization, provenance, and the dangerous attractions of Diana's privilege.
