"Self-confessed bohemian Izzie Stock prefers cargo pants to Donna Karan and has never seen a coffee shop she didn't like. Private-schooled and privileged, Maddy Hoare can name the best boutiques in Paris and is convinced proper English civilization ends at the London city limits. These two women couldn't seem more different until, forced to move to the English countryside for their respective husbands' careers, they meet at a luncheon with the local Stepford wives contingent-and immediately recognize their shared longing for the city streets they left behind. In this bizarro world of parish fairs and cow crossings, Izzie and Maddy may just be each other's last hope. But a tragedy is brewing--and together with a secret stash of French beauty secrets, some foul-smelling weeds, and a lot of excellent wine, the bonds of this unique friendship are about to turn the world they got stuck with into one they wouldn't trade for anything." -- from the publisher.
"Bohemian living Izzie Stock and privileged Maddy Hoare are about as different as you can get. However, both have just moved to the English countryside, due to their respective husband's careers. After meeting at a local luncheon, both women realize their shared longing for roaming city streets. A brewing tragedy will bond them even closer."

"Izzie looked at the newcomer. She winced as Madeleine's incredulous glance swept over the pink monstrosity. She had to say something to dissociate herself both from the ghastly conceit of Barbie ain a Victoria sponge and from the other women there, before she was dismissed along with them."@en
