A woman torn between two worlds.

Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (Four Weddings And A Funeral, The English Patient) shines in one of her earliest roles in this acclaimed miniseries based on Marcelle Bernstein's powerful novel. After 16 years of poverty, chastity and silent obedience in a secluded convent in Wales, Anna Gibson is beginning to doubt her vocation. When her brother dies tragically, Anna is forced to take charge of his young family, including his pregnant wife, Lynn, and her two young sons, and the bankrupt textile mill he has left behind in the north of England. Anna finds herself in an alien and hostile modern world. For the first time in her life, she is confronted by her own identity as a woman, and she is forced to choose between two conflicting worlds.
