A tale of illicit love, passion and repression for this is Victorian England and such events that unfold in this brilliant novel were not correct. It’s not an easy read and perhaps its multiple endings can be confusing but it is certainly a book that will remain with you for a very long time.

Charles Smithson, a respectable engaged man, meets Sarah Woodruff as she stands on the Cobb at Lyme Regis, staring out to sea. Charles falls in love, but Sarah is a digraced woman, and their romance will defy all the stifling conventions of the Victorian age.
Meryl Streep received her third Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Sarah in the 1981 film, which was adapted for the screen by Harold Pinter.
