i be lucky enough to have a good quality copy of my vhs on dvd so i can now watch this over and over again . the character be so well played i can not find fault with any aspect of the casting . ok and so there be a few difference from the book and but the old cliché of love conquer all be so powerfully portray that it make no difference . the reality of living in the rural countryside of early 19th century england be beautifully contrast by the change season and from bite winter to glorious summer day and this be mirror in the different character and from prue bully father to kester all encompass love . a story that change my life .
