R.D. Blakemore
BBC dramatisation of the classic novel, an enduring romantic love story
Experience R.D. Blackmore’s classic novel like never before, in this full-cast adaptation of one of the greatest love stories ever told. Immerse yourself in the world of Lorna and John as they battle their families and their allegiances during the turmoil of the English civil war. This stunning full-cast adaptation brings the story to life for listeners in a rich and deeply rewarding listen.
This is an enduring story of love, loss, redemption and revenge. Written in 1869, this adaptation transports the listener to 17th century Exmoor, Devon. Carver Doone and the Doone Clan, once nobles but now outlaws, murder the father of honest and hardworking John Ridd. Granddaughter of the head of the Doone Clan, Lorna meets John and the two fall in love, but can John really turn the other cheek? Murderous Carver has other intentions for Lorna and it turns out that she might not be who she thinks she is. Meanwhile the civil war rages, King Charles is executed and the Monmouth rebellion is not far away. Will John and Lorna, separated by circumstance and family, ever be able to be together…?
Since its publication, Lorna Doone (written in the heyday of the great Victorian novels) has proved to be an enduring tale. This brilliant adaptation is perfect for fans of classic romance fiction. If you liked Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South or Mary Ann Evan’s (George Elliot) Middlemarch, then this is a listen you will love.
