Paradise

Set in Edwardian England. Precocious girl from poor background with aspirations to being a novelist finds herself swept to fame and fortune when her dramatic romances hit the best seller lists (if such things existed at the time!) Her life changes in unexpected ways when she encounters an aristocratic brother and sister, both of whom have cultural ambitions, and both of whom come to love her. The film Chronicles her struggles with marriage, the first world war, and the trials of fame and being an author, as well as her joys and triumphs. Sam Neill costars as her supportive and visionary publisher, whose wife doesn't have a taste for her writing but comes to admire her ambitions. The film takes many looks at challenges and hardships in life, as well as having whimsical touches that demonstrate Angel's creative and fairytale like frame of mind as a dreamer and a writer.
