Shades of Love takes up the original story twenty years later and tells us how the Aird family's attempts to hide the secrets of the past, witnessed in September, will threaten to destroy all that they hold dear in the present, in Shades of Love.
Balnaird House - one of the most splendid estates in the Scottish Highlands - is the home of the ancient and venerable Aird family - and a dark secret. When American executive Conrad Tucker discovers a photo of Laura Aird, the youngest daughter, in a magazine, his past suddenly returns to haunt him and unleashes a catastrophic chain of personal events that is to tear apart the lives not only of the Airds, but also of their friends and neighbours, the equally exclusive Balmerinos.
A terrific international cast has been assembled to bring a sequel of Rosamunde Pilcher's enormous success September onto TV-screens all over the world. Charles Dance (WHITE MISCHIEF, GOSFORD PARK, SCOOP) is Edmund Aird and Eleonore Weisgerber (ALBERT SCHWEITZER, DR. M) his wife, Virginia. Among others, Emmy Award-winner Eileen Atkins (COLD MOUNTAIN) and Rebecca Night (WUTHERING HEIGHTS) complete the ensemble cast.
