I found this by accident and decided to order it. I was pleasantly surprised to find an interesting story, well cast and beautiful locations. The actors are believable, and I find the clothing, beautiful home interiors as well as the yachts captivating. The plot is complicated enough to make it addictive but without the awful violence and bad language that we are faced with today. In fact one can relate to some of the problems facing the cast eg alcoholism, relationship problems, financial wheeling and dealing and most of all sexism. It highlights the need for women's lib in a male dominated society. It shows how far women have come today although there is still room for improvement.

England’s answer to dysentery sorry dynasty,in a decade that fashion forgot our heroine is naturally decked out in shoulder pads and new romantic glamour.She goes from working 2 mornings a week in a chandlers office to rivalling Yve saint Lauren in the first series.Her estranged husband,made redundant from his job designing aeroplanes,goes into business with an alcoholic boat builder,he designs a boat which his daughter sails single handed across the Atlantic,throw in a moody son,a slutty friend, a slimy boss a high powered business man or 2.Oh look just buy it it’s brilliant with all the excesses of the eighties and best of all the mother in law who likes a drink,as does the whole cast,who gets into debt gambling on the horses and appears to run the boutique single handed in between being all these idiots confidante.Read full review
