I know I read the book and saw the movie. There was something about Keats or Yates being mentioned. The mother was very strict with her daughter. The daughter I think was a teenager but acted much older. I believe she started an affair with a teacher. Maybe that's where the poetry came into it?

Amy and Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout
I remembered it might have been connected to Oprah. I don't think it was part of her book club but she produced the movie.
This is a novel for adults. It is pretty famous. It was made into a movie, I think a TV movie, in the early '00s. The book is about a mother and daughter who have a lot of problems in their relationship. I think the title has both of their names in it. I feel like there was something there about poetry, Keats or Yeats? Maybe in the title or the characters.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the title of this?
