Knackered Maru is knackered

Dont't expect me to say anything witty, or anything much at all, because RL is rather demanding at the moment. My sister's renovations are a bottomless pit, but we do have established some planks across it. My brother-in-law and my Little Lady especially are total heroes.-

That means I'm not going to thread much at the moment, either.-

This is about industrialization in England (specifically in Northern England) and the division in the Church of England. Mr. Hale gives up his rectory as he cannot bring himself to accept changes in the Common Prayer Book. He drags his wife and only daughter (the son is in trouble in the Army) to the North and there she meets his first student, Mr. Thornton, the magnate of a cotton factory. Margaret befriends the workers and leads an all-out assault on the cotton manufacturers.

But somehow *music soaring* true love conquers all and workers and oppressors get together and figure out how to make a win/win situation.

Lots of refs to historical fact (bringing Irish laborers in to break the strike).

And one mind-blowing kiss in the last scene!! UNF

RICHARD ARMITAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! LOL

I loved it as much as Emma, tho' the book was packed with tedious detail of religious doctrine.
