The View from the Windows
dramatized by Bethan Roberts.

The series which explores the 20th century through the diaries and correspondence of real people.

It's 1954 and the avant-garde commercial artist Monica Rawlins finds herself alone, in the middle-of-nowhere rural Cardiganshire, breeding geese. How has her life come to this?
A heart-warming drama about unrequited love, unfulfilled dreams, art and poultry keeping.

Having endured an awful spring Monica hopes a visit from her nephew, the artist Geoffrey Rawlins, will bring some reprieve. Yet memories of the past are never far from her mind. Whilst in the present one very special gosling demands more attention than Monica can afford to give.
