Talking of characters, several are there even if they are playing a slightly different role. For example, Rivka is still in the movie, but is Hannah’s cousin.

In the book, though, the center of attention is wherever Hannah is and whatever she is doing. In the book, there is a collection of choosing and hiding of children scenes and in the movie there is not much of that. When Hannah is taken back to the future, she has two different experiences. In the book, all she does is walk into the oven and say “ready or not, here we come…” and is transported back to the future, all she has to do is look behind her and she sees her family.
