Anglophiles who may have suspected that the Victorian-era woman responsible for penning world's most famous cookbook was a matronly kitchen-dweller will no doubt delight in the opportunity to learn that the woman who would become a cultural icon was in fact a vivacious journalist with little cooking experience who only lived to the age of twenty-eight. In this biopic exploring both Isabella Beeton (Anna Madeley)'s professional career and doomed relationship with entrepreneurial husband Sam (JJ Field), filmmakers offer viewers the opportunity to get a true glimpse at the woman whose fame sheltered a dark secret.
