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 a poor Jewish girl who becomes a brilliant business woman, the other an English public schoolgirl who is a champion skier. Women from different parts of the world, from different sides of the social track, but under the skin the same.
Both desperate to escape from a past which dragged them down and determined to make an extraordinary mark on the world. Both unlucky in love. Both with enemies who will not willingly see them succeed.
That's the trouble with being a tall poppy - people always know how to find you.
