Philomena (Movie Tie-In): A Mother, Her Son, and a Fifty-Year Search
by Martin Sixsmith
It wasn't what I expected. I figured mother and son would get equal part about there struggle to find each other. It is more of a biography of the son. You see his entire life from the start. You only see the mother when she gives birth and then in the end. You only get four pages to learn that Philomena has been thinking and worrying about her son the whole time. I did want more of a switch up between their stories. I understand the original book title was "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee." Just because they made a movie doesn't mean the need to change the title. The first title lets you know it is about the child. Philomena makes me think it will be mostly about the mother.
With all that being said, I did enjoy the book. I felt for him. I did get angry at some parts, but that is how things are different in the 50s from now. I am not Catholic so I will no judge the religion since I know nothing about it.
