Wives Like Us by Plum Sykes
After a dreadful argument over a missing suite of diamonds, Tata Hawkins storms out of Monkton Bottom Manor, taking her daughter Minty and Executive Butler Ian Palmer with her to The Old Coach House, determined to teach her husband Bryan a lesson. But her plans unravel quickly: Bryan vanishes to Venice with a bikini designer; Selby Fairfax, the glamorous American divorcée who has inherited the stunning estate next door, rebuffs Tata's attempts at friendship; Tata’s close friends, Sophie Thompson and Fernanda Ovington-Williams, are preoccupied with their own troubles; and the elite Pennybacker-Hoare sisters are scheming to keep Tata from reclaiming her status as Queen of the Bottoms. To make matters worse, Ian has nowhere to store his prized 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 succeed in their plans? With the assistance of a pig farmer 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 peace to The Bottoms?
