Publisher's Synopsis
Rosamund Pike stars in this two-part BBC drama based on two novels by DH Lawrence, 'The Rainbow' and 'Women in Love'. The drama charts the lives and loves of two sisters, sculptress Gudrun (Pike) and teacher Ursula (Rachael Stirling), and in particular their relationships with two men from opposite sides of the social divide: Rupert Birkin (Rory Kinnear) and Gerald Crich (Joseph Mawle). As the relationships deepen and intensify, the couples leave the Midlands and go abroad together, a decision that brings tragic consequences.
