Flora Thompson's charming love letter to a vanished corner of rural England is brought to life in this heartwarming BBC adaptation starring Olivia Hallinan (Sugar Rush, Torchwood), Julia Sawalha (Absolutely Fabulous) and Brendan Coyle (Downton Abby). Set in the late 19th century, this rich, funny and emotional series follows the relationship of two contrasting communities: Lark Rise, a small hamlet gently holding onto the past, and Candleford, a neighboring market town bustling into the future. When young Laura Timmins leaves Lark Rise for a job at the Candleford post office, she discovers an eye-opening, exciting new world. In the face of scandals and feuds, she must leave her childhood behind and forge her own path to womanhood.
