- The rise and fall of a young eccentric British writer, in the early 20th century.
- Angel Deverell comes of age in Edwardian Cheshire knowing she will be a great writer. Rising above her class (her widowed mother has a grocery shop), Angel finds a publisher and a wide audience for her frothy romances. With royalties, she buys an estate, then she's smitten by Esme, a rake from local aristocracy and an artist of dark temperament. She hires Esme's sister Nora, who dotes on her, as a personal assistant, and pursues Esme. Angel is grandly self-centered, coloring her world as if it were one of her novels. When the Great War breaks out and reality begins to trump her will, can Angel hold on to her man and her public?—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
- Set in Edwardian England. Precocious girl from poor background with aspirations to being a novelist finds herself swept to fame and fortune when her dramatic romances hit the best seller lists (if such things existed at the time!) Her life changes in unexpected ways when she encounters an aristocratic brother and sister, both of whom have cultural ambitions, and both of whom come to love her. The film Chronicles her struggles with marriage, the first world war, and the trials of fame and being an author, as well as her joys and triumphs. Sam Neill costars as her supportive and visionary publisher, whose wife doesn't have a taste for her writing but comes to admire her ambitions. The film takes many looks at challenges and hardships in life, as well as having whimsical touches that demonstrate Angel's creative and fairytale like frame of mind as a dreamer and a writer.
