Josh O’Connor (The Crown, God’s Own Country) stars with Odessa Young in Eva Husson’s beguiling, sensual love story. Adapted from Graham Swift’s novel by screenwriter Alice Birch it features a terrific extended cast including Olivia Colman, Colin Firth and Glenda Jackson. Henley, 1920s: young maid Jane (Young) works for the Nivens, a family devastated by their losses in the First World War. Jane is passionately and secretly in love with Paul (O’Connor), the sole surviving son from a neighbouring manor house – but Paul is engaged to be married to someone else. Years later, Jane, now an author, is living with another man (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù) in London and struggles as she begins a new novel that urges her to look to the past.
