I cannot link to it, being in the USA and
not a subscriber.

But The Times [London]
published a feature story on the
BBC adaptation of The War of the Worlds.

The little I can make out, or have seen comments elsewhere on the story:
the journalist writing for The Times
considers the life, career, and reputation of
author H. G. Wells,
and how these are brought to bear in altering the storyline.

In particular there is the subject of Wells' relationships.
In real life, Wells went from one marriage to another, and
in one instance at least,
he left one marriage and moved in with his next intended
BEFORE the divorce;
it seems that said intended was named Amy.

And that, it seems, is why the BBC film's female protagonist,
living with a married man (the book's narrator),
is named Amy.


Anybody look at this published story first-hand?
