To Olivia

 

To Olivia

In 1962, Roald Dahl (Hugh Bonneville) was a prominent children’s author. His wife, Patricia Neal (Keeley Hawes), was a Hollywood movie star. This unlikely pairing retreated to the English countryside to bring up their expanding young family, only for their lives to be turned upside down when their daughter Olivia contracted the measles virus and died. Her death devastated the couple, yet their shared grief became a source of redemption and strength. Neal goes on to win an Oscar, and Dahl writes the book which turns him into a household name.
