Synopsis

This adaptation of Flora Thompson's classic novel tells the story of two Oxfordshire communities at the end of the 19th century.

Her adventurous cousin, postmistress Dorcas Lane (Julia Sawalha), takes Laura under her wing, and they soon become firm friends, experiencing together the romances, rivalries and comedies of close-knit rural life.
