Résumé:
So
wickedly smart, so effortless, so chic and hilarious.
Plum Sykes is in a class of her own when it comes to peeling back the layers of status paranoia amongst the poshest of the posh as she delivers a delectable tale that you never want to end.'' Kevin Kwan,
author of Crazy Rich Asians
*
If you think the English countryside is all green wellies, muddy Land Rovers and grey-haired ladies in tweed, then you''ve never visited ''The Bottoms.''
Welcome to the rose-strewn county of Oxfordshire, and the tony Cotswold villages of Little Bottom, Middle Bottom, Great Bottom, and Monkton Bottom, recently annexed by a glittering new breed of female: the Country Princess. Following a ghastly row about a missing suite of diamonds, Tata Hawkins has flounced out of Monkton Bottom Manor with her daughter, Minty, and Executive Butler Ian Palmer in tow, decamping to The Old Coach House to teach her husband Bryan a lesson. But things don''t go to plan: Bryan disappears to Venice with a bikini designer; Selby Fairfax, the glamorous American divorcee who has inherited the beautiful estate next door, is refusing Tata''s overtures at friendship; Tata''s best friends, Sophie Thompson and Fernanda Ovington-Williams, are distracted by their own heartache, and the posh Pennybacker-Hoare sisters are plotting to prevent Tata regaining her crown as Queen of the Bottoms. Worst of all, Ian has nowhere to store his collection of vintage Gucci loafers. Will Tata ever return to the comforts of the Manor? Will Selby find her Prince Charming? Will the Pennybacker-Hoares prevail? With the help of a pig farmer-ess moonlighting as a Personal Assistant, a male model moonlighting as a stable hand and a London barrister moonlighting as a gentleman farmer, can Ian restore harmony to The Bottoms?
''A fabulous and funny bucolic romp - Plum Sykes does it again.''
Hannah Rothschild, author of
The Improbability of Love
''Wives Like Us
may be set in the most gorgeous English manor house, but I''d happily sleep in the shed if it meant I could tag along with these marvelous characters - Tata, Minty, and their chic and crafty butler.''
Jenny Jackson, author of
Pineapple Street
''Delightful''
Vogue
''I absolutely adored
Wives Like Us
, I thought it was so fun and funny, a romp and a riot - and a glorious dollop of much needed escapism.''
Daisy Buchanan
''A stiletto-sharp look at the glamorous end of the Cotswolds. I loved it!''
