Charles Dickens, in his 40s, falls for a young teenage admirer and actress. They steal glances at his public readings and during her rehearsals for a play. Her mother figures out what is going on and at first dissuades her, but realizing it could help her career eventually looks the other way. Dickens separates from his wife, allowing their relationship to continue, but in secret. Understated, somewhat laborious period drama, even Dickens fans may be bored. Incorporates many true events from Dickens life, including a train derailment which he barely survived.
