The G!rl 2/22

In mid-19th century Yorkshire, Hannah Boyle is left with the family of Matthew Thornton, the man her dying mother claims fathered her. Ill-treated by Thornton's bitter and vindictive wife Anne, who views Hannah only as evidence of her husband's infidelity, she is married off to the village butcher, whose waspish mother torments her further. But through her patience, intelligence and strength, she wins her freedom and the man she loves.

You can already tell the youngest sister is going to be a brat.

In the book Hannah has four siblings. Brother Robert was not included in the movie. Robert was also kind to Hannah and after his fathers death ran away to America folowad by John and his wife...

Yeah, their camaraderie with Hannah is great. The siblings are pretty nice to her too. They were like, "Yeah, sure, mum, we're totally not going to talk to her. Psyche!"

Wow, what a horrible manner in which to see your mother for the last time. I would have ran out there and begged my mommy to stay. So sad. The class structure of that time made people have to go through tragic events... a little girl having to be left by her mom like that because of a lack of finances and support from her dad. He probably didn't even know that she existed, but still... :-(
