You Should Have Known will be Nicole Kidman's Undoing #book2movies

Don’t fret, Nicole Kidman fans, The Undoing is what they’re calling her upcoming series based on the book You Should Have Known. David E. Kelly who scripted the award winning Big Little Lies is writing the small screen adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz’s best seller for HBO. 

“David has created another propulsive series with a fascinating, complicated female role at its center.”  Nicole Kidman

David, with a little help from the novelist! Haven’t read the book yet? Things are just beginning to heat up with the adaptation so there’s plenty of time to catch up and read the book. I’ll keep you posted with an air date as soon as I hear it. 

About the Book

‘Grace Reinhart Sachs is living the only life she ever wanted for herself. Devoted to her husband, a pediatric oncologist at a major cancer hospital, their young son Henry, and the patients she sees in her therapy practice, her days are full of familiar things: she lives in the very New York apartment in which she was raised, and sends Henry to the school she herself once attended. Dismayed by the ways in which women delude themselves, Grace is also the author of a book You Should Have Known, in which she cautions women to really hear what men are trying to tell them. But weeks before the book is published a chasm opens in her own life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only an ongoing chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a spreading and very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for her child and herself.’

What do you think of Nicole Kidman as New York therapist and author of a woman’s self-help book?  I’m all ears.
