Mini Review NOW HERE Emily Hurson's drama about two people who connect over books, private diary entries and memories one rainy day in a library is infused with warmth and humanity. Hurson is excellent as an engaged woman with doubts about her fiance, and Ryan McVittie understated and moving as an emotionally numb son grieving his dead mother. At heart, the subtle script is about how people use language to capture life's moments, but also to find escape and distraction. NNNN (GS)
