Product Description
Whose lifeless body has been found in the loch and how did it get there? We all have secrets, and the aristocratic families living in the Scottish village of Strathcoy are no exception. The beautiful, carefree Pandora disappeared from the village twenty years ago under a cloud of suspicion. She is returning at the invitation of Verena Steynton who is having a dance and wants everyone to be there… whatever the price What past history is Edmund hiding from his wife Virginia? What does Mad Lottie know and how much more will she discover? Why did the down at heel Lord of the Manor Archie drive his sister away? And what price will they all pay for the secrets and lies that must have their consequences? The questions arrive with Pandora. The answers may prove more challenging.

If you, like me, enjoyed Rosamund Pilcher's book 'September', it would be best if you
keep clear of this shallow, badly scripted, very badly acted (though the cast includes some good actors) adaptation.
Of course it is rare that a film exceeds the book it is adapted from, but this is really a very strong example. Everything that was special, enjoyable and real in the original story is dropped in favour of a loud, confrontational, empty storyline with acting and directing suffering the burden of cliché after cliché.
There are maybe 2 lovely scenes (which you can find on youtube) and the photography of Scotland's highland views is magnificent, but otherwise this is a total waste of time and money.

The perfect film to sit by the fire on a winters afternoon. I watched this between last Christmas and New Year. The film is faithful to the book and very well cast.
The acting is spot on and whilst in many ways it is a sad tail it still left me with a warm satisfied glow.

This is a nice film to watch on a snowy day when you can't go out. It's pleasant and easy to follow. I like all the Rosamunde Pilcher films, good acting and pleasant scenery.
