A fantastic story one of Catherine Cookson's best novels . A brilliant production very moving and heart warming . I loved it very much. I would recommend it to all . Great cast , great film , great story. Definitely 10/10. However I wish it was a little longer. The ending was a bit too brief but overall a delightful film. Please read and watch. It is a lot like The rag nymph another one of her fantastic novels. It too is also a film. I would recommend that also to read and watch. Tilly Trotter is slightly better in my opinion though. Depends on your personal taste but the are both very enjoyable and tragic! Thanks for reading hope you enjoy it
