A Place to Call Home Season 1 (Blu-ray)

This drama follows Sarah Adams (Marta Dusseldorp), a nurse returning to 1950s Australia after twenty years in Europe. A convert to Judaism, Sarah emerged from the horrors of World War II strong, principled, and defiant -- a thoroughly modern woman still bearing the weight of the past. On the ship home, Sarah meets the wealthy Bligh family. She quickly charms dashing widower George (Brett Climo) and his spirited daughter, Anna (Abby Earl). Less pleased is his mother (Noni Hazlehurst), particularly after Sarah witnesses a desperate act by George's son, James (David Berry). As Sarah settles into life in her new town, Mrs. Bligh does everything she can to maintain her iron grip on her family -- and keep Sarah out of it.
