TO BE TURNED INTO A HISTORICAL MOVIE
 |
| Film rights have been sold for Frozen River |
As Deadline reports,
Ariel Lawhon’s historical mystery novel
THE FROZEN RIVER might be turned into a movie. Set in Maine in 1789, it opens when a man is found frozen in the Kennebec River. Martha Ballard, a respected midwife and healer, is summoned to examine the body and determine the cause of death. Her private diary, a meticulous record of births, deaths and crimes, soon places her at the center of a murder investigation intertwined with an alleged rape she documented months earlier. As a brutal winter closes in and a trial approaches, Martha’s quiet authority and refusal to bend to the power structures put her family, reputation and safety at risk. It has been sold in over two million copies so far.
Un film asciutto e tagliente come il gelo che racconta, dove il silenzio e la sopravvivenza valgono più di qualsiasi parola.
