Cert 15
In 1860s Northumberland, young bride Katherine is stifled by her loveless and contractually arranged marriage to a scowling man twice her age. He spends long periods away and orders her to stay confined to the house, but when listless boredom and claustrophobia eventually force her outside, she quickly finds sexual passion and runs with it. A compelling and deeply modern thriller in the guise of a stark period drama, ditching bonnets and bows for more murderous pursuits.
“A lusty, jaw-droppingly amoral bodice-ripper … leaves you chilled to the marrow”
Tim Robey, Telegraph
