About this title

Review:

Forget another adaption of 'Emma': I want to see this on Sunday night telly... It's a wildly leftist novel of love, war and death; Townsend Warner chucks the whole lot into her simmering story, but it remains skillfully crafted. Brilliantly entertaining and far ahead of its time, this is clearly way too hot for Sunday night drama to handle. (Guardian)
