Summaries

An adaptation of Anne Bronte's novel; a young widow takes her son and moves to Yorkshire.

In the mid 19th Century, an enigmatic young woman moves to Yorkshire with a young son. Distancing herself from everyone in the village and their prying questions, she remains totally aloof until a charming neighbor farmer gets her to reveal her past through his persistence. Only then does she reveal she is hiding away from a womanizing, belittling husband.—John Sacksteder <[email protected]>
