Episode 2
By Alix Nathan. Rescued at sea, a mute and paralysed woman is brought to the parsonage at Sowerthorpe.
England is beset by social unrest and the threat of Napoleonic invasion. Parted following a freakish accident, Sarah Battle and her daughter Eve try to rediscover each other.
With her mother widely-believed to be dead, Eve is raised by Sarah’s erratic artist friend, Joseph in London. Sarah - traumatised in mind and body - must rebuild herself in a Norfolk fishing village at the parsonage of the strangely-motivated Reverend Snead.
