About this listen

A scattering of confetti and Johanna is carried over the threshold into a cramped house he had promised was so much bigger. After 10 years in domestic service Johanna is determined to make the best of her marriage to watchmaker Willie Lockhart, but is haunted by memories of the man she loved, and lost to the Great War. The more Willie tests her mettle the fiercer grows her love for her dead soldier, a man she barely knew. As a marriage built on lies, drink, and fiddle music chips away at her dignity, the past becomes a happier country. This is the story of one woman’s hopes, poverty, struggle and survival. It is a story of life, love and finally, of choice.
