In the Westwood’s movie, most of the plots and settings are similar as those in the novel, except the abridged background information and some minor modifications. The structures of those two works are uniform; start with the stories in three main characters’ childhoods, following by what happens in decades later, after they grow up and have their own families. Both movie and novel tell the murder and Nadine’s First Communion in parallel structure. When I read the book, I feel a little bit confused
