Plot

Three-part dramatization of the novel by Joanna Trollope. A clergyman's wife shocks the church establishment and infuriates her husband by taking a job in a supermarket. She attracts the passionate interest of three very different men: a newly-appointed archdeacon; his younger brother, a philosopher and academic; and a wealthy businessman new to the village.

    I was surprised by this series, considering how long ago it was made, and also surprised I hadn't watched it when it ran on PBS. I haven't read the book, so I can't make comparisons. I am not one who insists movies sticks to the source material Anyway, as long as it is done well and doesn't sully the original. There are mature issues raised by the plot, requiring careful and expansive thought…
