I agree the genre is a little mixed- not quite a drama, not quite a soap opera, not quite a sitcom. But fun to watch nevertheless!

Some of her best are The Scent of Water and The White Witch. She wrote a wonderful trilogy about the Elliott family. She also wrote a magical tale for young people titled The Little White Horse, which this not-at-all young person still re-reads every year.
