Lydia has thrown caution to the Yorkshire winds. But will the affair that seems the height of freedom actually be a trap in itself? As Branwell’s frustration at his poetic failures grows, so does his reliance on opium. Anne has a plan of her own. And how can Lydia negotiate the opposing demands of brother and sister – who both want the impossible from her?

Helen Cross’s five-part original fiction is read by Anne-Marie Duff.
