Shows you how hard it was in that time. Also alot of unforgiveness too. Dealing with past hurts and not letting your past hinder your future. Very good story loved the dvd

Cathrine Cookson researches her work well and knowledge of the historical facts surrounding the era the book portrays is excelent.
Her characters are believable and storyline rich. The only beef I had was the actual DVD I felt they left the audience to guess what the storyline was, they taak it for granted that we knew what the charactures wer thinking. Subsequently there seemed to be areas that didn't quite make sence for me. The book explained the plot more clearly.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Toooooo Long!,
This review is from: Catherine Cookson - A Dinner of Herbs [DVD] (DVD)
Far too long to keep me interested! A good solid story and some fine acting, but could have been done in 3 hours rather than 6. For something to be this long, it needs to be a lot better than what this actually is. Worth watching, but not one of Catherine Cookson's best......well not on TV anyway!
