   How did the film of Philomena come about?

   • The film of Philomena came about through a series of coincidences, and I am as surprised as anyone that it has made such an impact both here and in the States. When my book was first published in 2009, Steve Coogan read an article I had written about it in a newspaper. It had a photograph of Philomena and me sitting together and laughing.

   Is Philomena a good movie?

   • Philomena has many facets. It is a comedic road movie, a detective story, an infuriated anticlerical screed, and an inquiry into faith and the limitations of reason, all rolled together. Fairly sophisticated about spiritual matters, it takes pains to distinguish faith from institutionalized piety.
