Product Description

Nina Roth and Elizabeth Savage come from different sides of the world - from utterly different sides of the social track. But under the skin they are the same: desperate to escape from a past which dragged them down, determined to make an extra mark on the world in spite of appalling personal tragedies. Drawn together by coincidence, held together by recognition, they are both determined to succeed. But they are both unlucky in love - and have enemies who will not willingly let them succeed. And the trouble with being a tall poppy is that people always know where to find you ...'Her novels are action-packed; her heroines gorgeous ...I loved it' Daily Mail

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great novel by Louise, Jun 18 2003

By	Kiran Khalid "kirankhalid" (UK) - See all my reviews

I have read all Louise Bagshawe books and I have to say that Tall Poppies has to be the best. Yes there are many similariites between the books and the characters, but that didnt put me off in the slightest as Louise still manages to keep your attention to maximum levels throughout the book as you turn each page wondering what is going to happen next. She develops the characters Nina and Elizabeth so well describing them in such great detail that you can actually picture them so very clearly.

I thought that the storyline was brilliant and she had me gripped when Elizabeth had the skiing accident. The way Louise portrays Elizabeth and Nina you can immediately sympathise in some cases, laugh at some of the situations they get themselves in and feel really emotional when they go through thier hardships.

I felt great joy with them when they finally got one over the awful Tony! I also found thier characters developed really well throughout the book and cannot forget them and thats one of the main things about a book, that an author creates characters you will not be able to forget and a book that you cant put down and Louise has done both!. Well done Louise lets have some more now!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever and Really Interesting, April 22 2003

By	Caroline P. Hampton (Columbus, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a huge fan of Louise Bagshawe and many of her books. I have to say - "Tall Poppies" is one of my favs. I really enjoyed the depth of character, interesting stories, and general pace of this book. Ms. Bagshawe's talent is clear - and I really love her English sense of humor. I found the interaction between Nina and Elizabeth really endearing and really empowering. I loved their spirit and strength.

"Tall Poppies" is a great book and I loved every minute of it.

Cheers!

3.0 out of 5 stars a feeling of deja vu..., Oct 17 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tall Poppies (Paperback)

This is the third Louise Bagshawe novel I've read, the other two being "Career Girls" and "When She Was Bad". If I'd read this book first I would have given it 5 stars, but I was constantly thinking about how closely it resembled the previous two. In all three books you have two women, one a curvaceous, somewhat common American brunette from the wrong side of town with a chip on her shoulder, the other a very slim green eyed blonde from an artistocratic English background. The two are fierce enemies and determined to destroy each other, while fighting to prove themselves as successful business people. Toward the end they both experience business problems and realise that the only way to save their individual businesses is to put aside their differences and work together. They then become a formidable team, not only saving their businesses but also becoming friends. While all Bagshawe's books are well written and entertaining, I think she needs a new plot idea - in every book I felt like I was reading about the same 2 characters, just with different names. I was interested to read one reviewer's comments about the 80's lingo and atmosphere not seeming authentic - I had the same problem with "When She Was Bad", another Bagshawe novel. "When She Was Bad" was ostensibly set in the 60's/70's, but the jargon was more consistent with current terminology - I'm not sure they used the words "booty", "like" and "heroin chic" in that era :) It seems as if Bagshawe sets her novels in the various periods for a change of pace without actually doing any research into the time. Despit my criticisms, "Tall Poppies" still manages to be an enjoyable read.
