Book Description
They call it the tall poppy syndrome. If you are too successful, you must be cut down to size. Nina and Elizabeth are tall poppies. One the poor Jewish girl who becomes a brilliant businesswoman, the other an English public schoolgirl who is a champion skier. Women from different parts of the world, from utterly different sides of the social track, but under the skin the same. Both desperate to escape from a past which dragged them down, both determined to make an extraordinary mark on the world. Both unlucky in love. Both with enemies who will not willingly see them succeed.
First they become friends, then business partners who set out to realise a dream. But they do so little knowing that every move they make is being tracked by people with old scores to settle. That's the trouble with being a tall poppy: people always know how to find you.
