Fans of Sarah Waters' ("Tipping the Velvet," "Fingersmith") period drama will adore this film based on the life and loves of Anne Lister. Set in 19th century England, this deeply engaging film follows the true story of the heiress and landowner who, in her courage to defy convention, became known as "the first modern lesbian." Pieced together from Anne's encrypted, four-million-word diary, the film recounts her scandalous affairs with two women and the heartbreak over her one true love.
