Set in West Yorkshire, England, in the year 1832, this series draws inspiration from the real-life events and secret diaries of Anne Lister. It chronicles her efforts to breathe new life into her ancestral estate, Shibden Hall. Remarkably, given the era, a key aspect of Lister’s strategy to secure her family’s future involves marrying a woman.
