Norfolk, 1813. In the quiet Waveney Valley, the body of a woman -
Mary Tyrell - is staked through the heart after her death by
suicide. She had been under arrest for the suspected murder of her
newborn child. Mary leaves behind a young daughter, Hannah, who is
later sent away to the Refuge for the Destitute in London, where
she will be trained for a life of domestic service. It is at the
Refuge that Hannah meets Annie Simpkins, a fellow resident, and
together they forge a friendship that deepens into passionate love.
But the strength of this bond is put to the test when the girls are
caught stealing from the Refuge's laundry, and they are sentenced
to transportation to Botany Bay, setting them on separate paths
that may never cross again. Drawing on real events, The Low Road is
a gripping, atmospheric tale that brings to life the forgotten
voices of the past - convicts, servants, the rural poor - as well
as a moving evocation of love that blossomed in the face of
prejudice and ill fortune.
