- Synopsis:
Set in rural Northumberland during the 1830's, this Catherine Cookson series tells of Cissie Brodie's struggle to keep the family intact when the sudden death of her parents causes them to be evicted from their cottage...Barely sixteen herself, she turns a harsh hillside cave into a home for her five younger brothers and sisters, to save them from the workhouse. Matthew, a local carpenter who helps Cissie build the family's new home, falls in love with her. But Cissie is raped by a drunken young aristocrat and falls pregnant. As she tries to make sense of turbulent relationships with two very different men, Cissie finds her life irrevocably caught up with that of Lord Fischel - and she is forced to make a heart-breaking choice... - Actors:
