    This frothy romantic confection was made for American TV, set in England and filmed in Ireland, though that's hardly likely to bother Barbara Taylor Bradford's legion of fans. Melissa Gilbert exchanges Little House on the Prairie for a string of luxury hotels, playing a wealthy woman who's seeking the truth about her traumatic past. Jean Simmons leads a distinguished supporting cast in a soapy melodrama that won't disappoint fans of the novel.

    Enjoyed it.

    If you are a fan of Barbara Taylor Bradford then I recommend you rent this. I enjoyed it from start to finish and thought Melissa Gilbert acted well.

    I think though that this is mainly a woman's film, but my partner likes Catherine Cookson (for period drama) so you never know chaps.

    I would actually give this between 3 and 4 stars.
