The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall - 1996 - 6/10
Glossy three-parter of the Anne Brontë novel.
Widow moves to tiny hamlet, small son in tow. Also closet skeletons and unspoken baggage.
Village gossip quickly turns malicious and she is shunned by all save a yeoman who is attracted to her.
Secrets are shown in flashback of the horrors the widow fled from.
Most of the characters are brutish, vicious and given to vice.
This is a moral tale, with a suffering, albeit strong, female character.
Finely done, but those seeking another Pemberley, beware.
