Honeysuckle Weeks plays Jenny, who is sent to join family in the country to escape The Blitz.
It's a fantastic drama, I always thought it was longer, just about fifty minutes. It is particularly well produced, it looks great, and moves at a good pace.
You think of Ruth Rendell, you instantly think of murder mysteries, she did so much more then just that genre, this one of the finest examples. This is a drama, yes about crime, but about observation, longing and discovery.
Jenny is at a very important stage of her life, she's becoming a woman, and starting to develop interests and desires. She's impressionable, she's despised, and she's desired, you cannot fault Honeysuckle Weeks, it's a terrific performance.
Superb storytelling, beautifully realised. Someone please get this full set of Ruth Rendell dramas out on Blu-ray.
