Episode 5

Ursula grows up, ever closer to her young father Will.

Will himself is changing from the naive man he used to be, and his behaviour, rather than repulsing his wife, draws them together.

DH Lawrence's novel explores the passionate lives of three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghamshire.
