I now have an urge to watch Jean Anderson in The Brothers if a higher quality version could be found! Weirdly, even after hearing this rich, date-rapey promise, our heroine doesn’t leave him. That means we get hours and hours of nothing, as their awkward, friendless, sexless marriage plods on and on. Vanessa even tries to kill herself to get away from his all-brown house and his shouty mom, but it doesn’t work, because then she would have actually made a choice for herself, and we can’t have that!Catherine Cookson - Person - National Portrait Gallery". www.npg.org.uk .
