A Gentle, Traditional British Melodrama
by robert-temple-1 β€’ 2010-01-14
7/10

"This is a charming and delightful tale, told in languid fashion, of the life story of the character Clare Hingston (played by Margaret Johnston), as she relates it to her own granddaughter to tell her the importance of true love. It is based on a novel by the popular novelist Francis Brett Young (1884-1954). The tale is set in Yorkshire, and most of it takes place towards the end of the 19th century. Clare falls deeply in love with 'the love of her life' Ralph Hingston and marries him. But he drowns before the birth of their son, Stephen. This leads to years of lonely young widowhood..."
