i be so happy i record this on vhs tape when it be feature on master piece theatre . this be a movie i can watch again and again . like living in the early 1800 in england isn not hard enough and prue be bear with a hare lip and be outcast from birth . the people in her village accept her somewhat but always fear that she be from the devil smithy and be quick to turn on her . especially when a lot of bad luck befall her family . she be strong and courageous but shy away from kester woodseaves and a travel weaver who catch her eye . partly because she fear rejection and also because she think he be so virile that he should have a wife who be as lovely a a lily . kester be a modern man who do not believe in the superstition of the time and he speak his mind and follow his heart . the movie stay true to the original story by mary webb and be rivet from begin to end .
