Indieflower I love this book, I still have the copy I first read many years ago when I was in my teens, I've reread it a few times since then too, your lovely review has made me want to enjoy it all over again ☺️.

Luvtoread (Trying to catch up) Oh, thank you so much, Indieflower! I know, just talking about it again makes me want to relive this book all over again. I enjoyed the tv film version as well, I thought they matched the characters very well!!πŸ€—

Oh my goodness, yes! Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward, everyone was crazy for the TV series at the time, I think that's what made me want to read the book πŸ˜„

Luvtoread (Trying to catch up) I would love to see that mini series again (very soon). It has been ages since I have seen it How about Barbara Stanwyck in that role? I wonder if she won an Emmy for her performance, she certainly was wickedly good!!πŸ‘πŸ˜†
