Product Description
They call it the tall poppy syndrome. If you are too successful, you must be cut down to size… Nina and Elizabeth are two such women. Nina from the wrong side of the tracks, Elizabeth rich and beautiful, but both desperate to make a mark on the world despite past tragedies

Tall Poppies is about love, hate and triumph
I guess I wanted to throw two of the most different people together... one review called this 'Dallas meets the Chalet School' and I was well chuffed. Look, a Welsh aristocrat meets a poor Jewish girl from Brooklyn... and absolutely hates her. This one`s about business, Olympic medals, falling for the wrong men and the right men and triumphing over everything... including yourself. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Paperback
I am only 16 years old and have never really been introduced to an 'easy read'. I have read from authors such as Barbara Kingsolver and Jane Austin! But never really attempted such a sexy, fun, ambitious girly genre! I loved it! I could not put it down and feel in love with the audacity of both characters. My all time dream is to become a journalist, and perhaps even a novelist one day, and it is this hope of a successful and independant future that keeps me going. Now Bagshawe is my shrink, hahaha, and she deserves a lot of praise for an wonderful composition! I was shocked the comment that some sexual reference may offend adult readers. God, it is sex for crying out loud. Something everyone thinks about. I thought it was portrayed as desirable and real. Nina Roth and Elizabeth Savage are two girls every teen aspires to be. I found their hidden insecurities touching and something every girl can relate to. Well done! I plan to buy many more of Bagshawes books.

I liked this book. It goes with a swing, and tells a dramatic and pacey tale of high business and treachery. Not a great literary work, but perfect for a holiday read.
The story is about Nina and Elizabeth, the mistress and daughter respectively of Tony Savage. In turn dominated by him, they reject him and set up their own company.

It was one of the first books I ever read that is chick lit, and it inspired me to have a career and to be myself. It's about strong female characters who play hard in business and want the world. It's quite 1980s but that's not a bad thing. 9/10!

As other reviewers have said (here and elsewhere), Louise Bagshawe's work is formulaic and predictable, and this book is no different, bearing a particularly striking resemblance... Read more
