Families: Their Secrets And Lies

Synopsis

'There is not a house in this street or any other street anywhere that the family is not hiding some secret, some bigger than others,' says Sarah Edwards to her daughter Rose. It's something that some members of their family already know only too well and others will come to learn in time. We follow the lives of Sarah, some of her children and grandchildren living in the Wiltshire countryside, from the joyous end of the First World War and how their lives were shaped as they battled through the next 20 years, only to have to go through it all again with rationing and hardship, once again dealing with the heartache of loss and the anguish of separation from loved ones. The burden of keeping a secret can sometimes be lifted by sharing it, but other secrets should never be shared and are best taken to the grave - for everyone's sake.
