If you read the book


I believe that the show does a great job in capturing the atmosphere of the book. I read it a few years back and my only question is with the ages of the characters/actors. I seemed to remember that Camille was in her late 20's/early 30's (she does make reference in the last episode that one of the kid's mother who is 34 was a few years before her time in high school). Amy Adams is fine playing the role as she looks younger than 45 (her age) and Camille would be expected to look older than her age. I believe that Adora is supposed to be in her mid to late 40's as I thought she had Camille when she was young. Patricia Clarkson is doing a great job playing the character, but she does look a bit too old. Perhaps I am remembering the ages incorrectly or it is just that Patricia Clarkson was too good of an actress to deny her the role.
