The bed-ridden widow Julia Charnock Poynsett lives at home with her two youngest sons, but soon her three eldest children, who left home to get married, will return with their wives for the very first time.
Raymond, an MP and heir to his mother's fortune, has married his second cousin, while Julius is the new rector of the parish. The third son, Miles, has sent his wife Anne back ahead of him while he completes his tour of duty.
Living under the same roof as their crippled mother, the sons begin to learn a lot about their new wives.
âThe Three Bridesâ is a family drama full of romance, betrayal, and greed, perfect for fans of the BrontĂŤ sisters.
