Superb, simply superb
This film broke my heart! She, the author of the story gave them the ending that she thought would justify her actions and make atonement for the two life’s she had deliberately destroyed because of the rejection and humiliation she felt as an naive and manipulative young girl...all because she was so utterly rejected by her elder sister young man( who was considered of the lower class standard of the 1930’s). I believe the English are still quite stuffy n stiff necked today in many of life’s circumstances. Karma got her due in the end, didn’t she? *MBB.

Had to fast-forward .
Beautiful, heartbreaking and poignant. Extremely well acted by all in the cast.
wonderfully written of romance, and remorse. True to history. Great choice of cast. I really enjoyed this film
