| Three beautiful women -- grandmother,
mother and daughter -- struggle bravely through five eventful decades of
hidden love, high drama and sudden death in this, Barbara Taylor Bradford's
most stirring tale, based closely on her own remarkable true-life story.
In Part I, Victoria Tennant (star
of War & Rememberance and Voice
of the Heart) shines as Audra, iron-willed matriarch who devotes
herself completely to her daughter Christina (Elizabeth Hurley), who is
determined that she live the life Audra was denied cruelly by the death
of her young mother and her own hasty marriage to a lowly workman.
In Part II, Christina rises quickly
to success amongst London's glittering elite, yet she happily risks everything
in a torrid, tempestous affair with a married member of Parliment, portrayed
brilliantly by Peter Coyote, star of Outrageous Fortune. |
