If you’ve ever seen Fingersmith you know how well Sally Hawkins can portray emotions with her face, without words; a skill that will serve her well in Persuasion, where the book does not have a lot of dialogue. I think she will set the new standard.

How is her acting? I haven’t seen that series just clips from the ‘Fingersmith’ page and the character she plays seems nothing like Anne Elliot.
I did see her in ‘The Young Visitors’ as the maid Rosalind and that was funny.
