The story of Hannah's journey in a mid-1850's North England village is compelling and heartfelt. The acting is top notch, and the scenery and production are beautiful. While it is a period piece, it never feels "costumey" - the dirt and hardscrabble lives of the time are allowed to show. Particularly good in the outstanding cast is Jonathan Cake as Ned. Pick up the DVD, sit back and enjoy.
