But as the old and new worlds come to clash, something has to give.Running Time: 300 min.Format: DVD MOVIE

Professional Reviews

Current.org 8 of 10
Defenders of the TV adaptation say the novel needed some alterations to become dramatically effective. Wadey said she inserted the elements of homosexuality and marital rape to modernize the plot and help its flow. She contended the additions were necessary to demonstrate why the heroine, Nan, had to leave the duke and seek divorce at any cost. Wadey's additions dramatized Nan's torture and gave her a motive beyond boredom or dissatisfaction. - Jabeen Bhatti
