Outrageously Jilly Cooperesque

Sunday Times Style

The brilliantly satirical new novel that's got the Cotswolds smart set buzzing with speculation …it may finally be time for Jilly [Cooper] to make way for a new chronicler of Cotswolds life.

Daily Mail

A forensically well-observed narrative ... will it do for the Cotswolds what F Scott Fitzgerald did for the Hamptons ... a shiny satirette of country living where everyone is unmuddied but filthy rich.

The Times

A stiletto-sharp look at the glamorous end of the Cotswolds. I loved it!

Katie Fforde

A fabulous and funny bucolic romp – Plum Sykes does it again.

Wives Like Us made me laugh so hard I actually knocked over my lamp. Can a book be so wickedly smart, so effortless, so chic and hilarious that you would stumble through the night to find a new lightbulb just so you can keep reading way past your bedtime? In a word, yes. 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. I would risk all the lamps in my house to read stand-alone novels about every single character in this book!
