The Greatest Novelization of a Screenplay

Sara Dowse didn't just adapt a screenplay but wrote a great novel besides. 'Silver City' (Penguin, 1984), 'a novel based on the (1983) screenplay by Sophia Turkiewicz (the film's director) and Thomas Keneally', is a rich and moving story about a group of Polish refugees fleeing World War II Europe for a new life in Australia, beginning at the transit camp known as Silver City. One senses that Dowse was truly inspired by the story, especially with the characters of Nina and Anna. The text is filled with character reminiscences, thoughts, and descriptions that simply couldn't be captured as well (if at all) on film. A great read, a work of art.
