Overview
On a warm spring day in 1924, house maid and foundling Jane Fairchild finds herself alone on Mother's Day. Her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Niven, are out and she has the rare chance to spend quality time with her secret lover. Paul is the boy from the manor house nearby, Jane's long-term love despite the fact that he's engaged to be married to another woman, a childhood friend and daughter of his parents' friends. But events that neither can foresee will change the course of Jane's life forever.
While watching this movie I couldn’t help but wonder if – not unlike the movie Black Bear – I would have enjoyed this movie more if I were an author. The movie is good…. it just isn’t compelling in any way. The final scenes brought together much of the movie but the build to that point was very slow and not always engaging.
