Description is vivid and cinematic and supports the tone effectively, adding tension and suspense at the outset. Not sure how the opening will connect but the flashback story is vivid and compelling and quickly drew me in. The historical context helps up the tension. It succeeded in leaving me interested to know more.

The writer is excellent in painting the scene, the description is exceptional, and reads a little like a novel. The opening scene in the school room is so different in style and brief it feels like it is from a different script. I was not certain who's POV I was following in the following pages.

Have you thought about turning this into a book as well? It has the bones and because of your in depth descriptions and characters it reads more story-like. However, with a little bit more massaging of structure/organization, I do see it becoming a hit period piece.

I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful reviews of my script. I noted there was confusion about the two different stories which I merged together. As a result, I have revised the script to to help clarify how the struggles, sacrifices, and perseverance of one protagonist (the grandmother) had a profound impact on the second protagonist's (granddaughter's) decision whether or not to have a life-threatening operation. Thank you very much for helping me make this an even better script now. And, to answer Ms. Peacock's question, yes, I also have it as a manuscript, but I'm better at screenwriting and would need a mentor to help me develop the book.
