With him, one of his leading actresses, Jennifer Ehle, who plays the role of Emily Dickinson‘s sister Vinnie in the film. Davies reveals how it was reading after all the letters Dickinson wrote throughout her life that he decided to create his own version of her life story. All the dialogues, some characters and the strong and ironic relationship she had with her sister are Davies’ own invention.
