We know from the true story of Anne Lister's life that she passed away in 1840, only six years after the couple eloped, which means we're still a few seasons from that heartbreak (thank goodness). The story is distilled from Lister’s multi-volume diaries that document her life of lesbian relationships in secret code. Nominated for multiple awards, this series was well received by critics and audiences alike. A second season, also based on Lister’s diaries, is in production. Salem, Mitch (14 June 2022).

As for the nitty-gritty, the trials and tribulations that make up any marriage, series three will have to deal with the chaotic state left in series two. That said, if you're new to the topic, the first thing you should know about Anne Lister books is to NEVER FORGET you're reading (or watching!) someone's INTERPRETATION of Anne Lister. All biographers and researchers of Anne Lister lay a heavy hand on their works in determining what they think you should know about her or how they want to present her based on their own feelings about her. (For example, Steidele says at the very end that she fell in love with Anne only to be betrayed by Anne. I strongly believe that means she wasn't paying attention to the real Anne all along.)

Hearing of Ainsworth's arrival, Miss Lister sets out to deal with him in her own way. While Anne Lister proposes marriage to Miss Walker, Mrs Priestley spreads vicious statements to Miss Parkhill about Anne Lister's character and her being a lesbian, which ultimately leads to Ann Walker's detriment. Thomas Sowden's mother comes to the realisation of Sam Sowden's mysterious disappearance. Ann Walker fights and struggles to reconcile her desire for Anne Lister with the mix of her family's expectations and her faith eventually leading to Ann vociferously shunning Anne.

Lister's indiscretion with Mrs Lawton seems to have given Mariana reason to cling on to their faded romance. Whether their one-time-tryst will turn into a full blown affair is still up in the air. One thing's for sure, even the slightest interest from Lister and Mariana will throw all caution to the wind, so let's hope Anne knows what she's doing.

She was, I quote, "the first modern lesbian". There is a plaque in Shibden Hall and another one outside the church where she had a secret (and obviously informal) wedding ceremony with Ann Walker whom she considered her wife. She was an entrepreneur with a head for (manageable) risk who competed with men on an equal basis. She refused to be patronised or sidelined by men. And she refused the advice of her girlfriends to find a man, become respectable in the eyes of society and do what she liked in secret. Anne Lister would have none of that. She knew what she wanted: she wanted a companion, a wife, with whom she would live together. She found that in nearby heiress Ann Walker.Metcalf, Mitch (29 May 2019).

She's protecting her assets. She's fighting for what she wants for their wills and the division of the estate.
