De BBC gaat tot mijn grote blijdschap een verfilming uitzenden van The Crimson Petal and the White (Lelieblank, scharlakenrood) van Michel Faber.
Zie mijn bespreking van het boek op www.stukgelezen.nl
"The Crimson Petal & The White is a four-part adaptation of Michel Faber's international best-selling novel on BBC Two.
Adapted by acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Lucinda Coxon and directed by Marc Munden, this is an evocative, sexually-charged tale that takes us into a hidden world. In the words of the heroine Sugar: "If you dare enter this world, you had better tread carefully."
A tale of love, lust, desire and revenge, it reveals the true underbelly of Victorian London's underground life.
This provocative and riveting emotional tale focuses on a young prostitute and a prominent businessman, who embark on a dangerous relationship with epic consequences."
Nou dat belooft wat! Ik ben benieuwd wie de hoofdrollen gaan spelen.
