Wives Like Us

Autor Plum Sykes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 mai 2024
One grand English country house, one American divorcee, three rich wives, two business tycoons, a pair of miniature sausage dogs and one butler... what could possibly go wrong?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. These tiny, rose-strewn Cotswold villages (Little Bottom, Middle Bottom, Great Bottom and Monkton Bottom) are home to a glittering new country crowd. 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. Ian knows the only way to restore order to his - and Tata's - life is to get his employers back together.But nothing goes to plan. Bryan disappears with a bikini designer; Selby Fairfax, the glamorous American divorcée who has inherited the beautiful estate next door - Great Bottom Park - is refusing Tata's overtures at friendship; Tata's best friends are distracted by their own problems; and worst of all, Ian simply cannot find the space at The Old Coach House for his collection of vintage Gucci loafers.Tata just wants her husband to see the error of his ways so she can go back home. Selby just wants to believe in love again. And Ian? Ian wants his walk-in wardrobe back. With the help of a pig farmer, a stable hand, a barrister and a bikini influencer (and many more besides) can Ian restore harmony to The Bottoms?Praise for Plum Sykes' previous novels:'Deliciously moreish' Daily Mail'Thoroughly fabulous' Vogue'A total hoot' The Sunday Times'Sykes has a distinctive, wily and well-deployed comic voice' New York Times 'Savagely funny' Observer'Glam and lively' Heat'You'll have a blast' Red

Recenzii

Bright and funny: haute couture chick lit
Perfectly pitched - playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times
Plum Sykes knows her world, skewers it, and serves it up as murder. Delicious
Sykes has a distinctive, wily and well-deployed comic voice . Into the blender go Bridget Jones, Anita Loos, Sex and the City and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction
A masterpiece: never has intelligence been so wickedly dark, on-point and outright funny. It's also full of lightly worn wisdom and the best kind of 'I'd always thought but never managed to think it so clearly' psychological insight. I'm full of awe and admiration
Terrific fun and really clever!
Plum Sykes channels Nancy Mitford and Holly Golightly with great charm and sweetness
An absolute hoot
Smart, stylish and fun ... Beautifully written and deliciously moreish from start to finish
