The novel was adapted for the small screen by Sarah Williams (“Wallis & Edward”), who also

adapted Levy’s “Small Island” into an Emmy-winning miniseries in 2009. The late Levy, who died in 2019 after battling breast cancer for more than a decade, was taken with Lawrance from the get-go, as she explained in an interview posted on the BBC’s website. “The first time I saw Tamara Lawrance’s face, I said, ‘Yes, her. She’s July. That was it,’”

Levy said. “And then I saw her audition tapes, and I said, ‘Yes, yes, yes, that’s July moving. That’s her. You’ve got her.’” Young British actress Lawrance is best known for her role as Prince Harry’s republican girlfriend in the 2017 TV movie “King Charles III.” Her other credits include television’s “Undercover” and “No Offence,” as well as the horror film “Kindred” (2020).
