Episode 1
Katherine and Mary are challenged over their assumptions about love in pre-First World War London. With Kristin Scott Thomas.
Katherine Hilbery, grand-daughter of a great Victorian poet, is forced to choose between her engagement to the eminently suitable William Rodney, and her attraction to Ralph Denham, with whom she feels a more profound and disturbing affinity.
Meanwhile, Suffrage campaigner Mary Datchet has also fallen for Ralph - and she too must decide between her feelings and her dedication to the Women's Suffrage movement.
Kristin Scott Thomas narrates Virginia Woolf's comic novel set in pre-First World War London, challenging all assumptions about the nature of love.
Dramatised in two parts by Lavinia Greenlaw.
