Slightly better than the average chick lit (how much I hate that description) as Holden gently sends up the needs and aspirations of her characters. This fitted the bill perfectly for an undemanding, funny, late night read. The characters fits their stereotypes perfectly, with the requisite one or two characters whose integrity and dignity are restored, or still intact, at the end of the book. ( ) I have always avoided Wendy Holden's books, believing they were the literary equivalent of a cream puff, whereas I would prefer something a bit more filling, and maybe with a bitter aftertaste......but I was lent this one by someone who recommended it, so I read it. I was pleasantly surprised - I was gripped right to the end, there were some genuine laugh-out-loud moments, and even though it was predictable in places not quite everything worked out as expected (thinking of the full-moon incident halfway through.....). It would have been a five star but for the over-wordiness of some of the passages, where a sharper satirist would have made their point using half as many keystrokes, not to mention some of the crude grammar. But presumably the editor wanted a nice fat book so it stayed in! Overall, a good read. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
When Mary meets Monty, heir to a stately pile, happiness seems assured. But as the mansion crumbles, passion wanes along with the heating. Banker's wife Beth swaps Notting Hill for weekends at a bijou cottage.They only offered a smidgeon over the asking price. So why don't the locals like them? Eco-harridan Morag is the terror of the village, with her objections to everyone and everything. Uber-WAG Alexandra needs a footballer's mansion and fast. There must be a Hello!-tastic country pile with spa, champagne bar and parking for six SUVs somewhere? Ambitions clash when the village launches an allotment project and no one escapes the bitter struggle over sex, power and money which threatens to blight more than everyone's carrots.
