Plot

Anne Lister knew who she was and what she was capable of. Many years ago, she accepted herself for who she is — passionate about women, male pursuits and non-standard outfits that are not befitting for a self-respecting lady. But no matter what happened, she was always true to her beliefs. The family’s attempts to convince Anne ended in failure.

After a fateful meeting with the young Miss Walker, Anne’s life took on new meaning. The young girl was too silent during the day and very frank under the cover of night. Lister was crazy about her, but local traditions did not allow them to meet openly. Close relatives with whom she lived had a great influence on Walker.

At the end of the season 1, Walker was so shocked by the events that the girl decided to commit suicide. Worried, Anne took her to the best medical institution, where her beloved could accept herself, as well as plunge into the painting that she loved so much.

By the beginning of the season 2, the condition of the sick girl had improved, and Anne was waiting for problems with the miners. The commander of the miners took to drinking, but it’s not so easy to keep a job with the authoritarian Lister. Reprimanding the lazy worker, she hoped for a better outcome. The problems did not decrease, and relations with Walker moved to a new level, because the ladies decided to live together, not embarrassed by public censure.

Lister recorded many love affairs in a diary, which kept detailed descriptions of heated meetings. Walker was not the first girl, but she left an indelible mark on the life of her chosen one. The people around gave Anne the nickname “Gentleman Jack”, which expressed the rudeness, courage and steel character of the one who was originally born in the body of a lady…
