this wonderful 3 part bbc production be one of the sweet love story that i have see in a while . the actress display a very high level of talent and especially rachael stirling a nan astley . she be funny and seductive and cute . the love making scene and the close up kiss be very erotic regardless of one sexual preference . the character be well define and very believable . i guess this be a by product of a good adaptation from a well write novel . a truly remarkable well paced drama that pick up speed quickly after a couple of boring ( but necessary ) scene in the beginning . my vote represent positive .
