Customer Reviews

Adapting as good a novel as this is never easy but the BBC did very well.
Richard Coyle, in a serious role for a change, plays John Ridd exceptionally well despite the fact that John Ridd is supposed to be a giant of a man!
Amelia Warner is also excellently cast as the "English Rose" heroine Lorna.
Those unfamiliar with the story will dare not pause the DVD until the very end, due to the gripping storyline.
Those, like myself, whom are lifelong fans of R D Blackmore will remain impressed throughout with the high quality of acting, locations and camera work. The musical score also works well.
Thoroughly recommended for viewers of all ages and particularly those who might find the book a bit long.

As a teenager I adored this book and now the characters of John and Lorna have been brought to life for me by the wonderful performances of Richard Coyle and Amelia Warner.
If you are looking for a wonderful story of romance, honour, bravery and treachery with a hero who will make you go weak at the knees together with the most beautiful music that captures the essence of every scene this is the film to go for.
I cant recommend it highly enough
