Synopsis
One Wednesday morning in November 1912, the ageing Thomas Hardy, entombed by paper and books and increasingly estranged from his wife Emma, finds her dying in her bedroom. Between his speaking to her and taking her in his arms, she has gone.
The day before, he and Emma had exchanged bitter words - leading Hardy to wonder whether all husbands and wives end up as enemies to each other. Sorting through Emma's effects, he comes across a secret set of diaries and discovers what Emma had truly felt - that he had been cold, remote and incapable of ordinary human affection.
