Anglia, przełom XIX i XX wieków. Angel (Romola Garai), córka sklepikarki z prowincjonalnego miasteczka spędza każdą wolną chwilę na pisaniu cukierkowych romansów. Wszyscy wokoło ją wyśmiewają, ale ona nic sobie z tego nie robi. Gdy wydawca z Londynu orientuje się, że sprzedaż takich historyjek przyniesie krocie, życie Angeli zaczyna przypominać bajkę. Dziewczyna staje się ulubienicą tłumów, zdobywa majątek, trafia na londyńskie salony.
Film na podstawie książki Elizabeth Taylor.

Every once in a while, screenwriters manage to craft a character that I despise from the very start. Just recently, I was introduced to the film version of Scarlett O'Hara, which somewhat hinted that perhaps physical punishment in childhood isn't entirely obsolete. However, Angel Deverell turned this faint notion into a certainty. What a dreadful... creature. The film itself was more of an intimate affair, with the main protagonist being grating and a pain in the ass. The story straddled the line between romance and drama, revolving around a writer who could easily be compared to the likes of Danielle Steel or Rosamunde Pilcher. Logically, there shouldn't have been much to appeal to me in this mix. Yet, to my surprise, I found myself entertained. As the end credits rolled, I realized I hadn't been bored the entire time. The creators must have done something right. / Lesson learned: Want to enjoy champagne? Leave the bottle opener in the drawer. 3*+
