A Suitable Boy
Created by Andrew Davies
On BBC One
A lush, character-driven period romance set against the social upheaval of post-Partition India, where personal desire collides with familial and cultural obligation.
Modernity confronts tradition in 1950s post-Partition India as a young woman resists an arranged marriage in favour of pursuit of love and a politician's son becomes involved in a transgressive affair.
