Meet Mimi (Fleming at school/surgery/the butcher's, Mimi Malone at work/dinner parties with attractive men!) Mimi may "have it all", she has the house, the children, the part-time vanity job, the skinny jeans, the feng shui guru, but life chez Fleming it's not as cushy as she'd like (husband Ralph prefers the trout stream in Wiltshire to the fast lane of W11). And when Mimi she meets Si, the new billionaire on the block, at a sushi party, she soon faces a choice of keeping up, or keeping it real... Then there's her best friend Clare, neatfreak garden designer, deep in bio-panic about her childlessness with eco-architect husband, Gideon. Clare monitors all illicit activity in the private West London compound- from light adultery to heavy building work - and she is watching Mimi as spring turns to summer, and summer to winter... A wicked comedy of manners filleting life on a Notting Hill communal garden, where lucky residents fall into one of only two social-economic groups: the haves - and the have-yachts...So, take your £3m key (it costs that much because if you lose it, you basically have to buy another house on the communal garden to replace it) and enter Lonsdale Gardens, meet the rest of the rich neighbours and see what really goes on behind that famous garden gate....

Review:
""Notting Hell" is witty, sharp, outrageous, and cringingly real. I was riveted!" -- Sophie Kinsella, author of "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "The Undomestic Goddess"

"Notting Hell is witty, sharp, outrageous, and cringingly real. I was riveted!" -- Sophie Kinsella, author of Confessions of a Shopaholic and The Undomestic Goddess

"Gripping . . . a pacy mix of lifestyle envy, sexual intrigue, and good, old-fashioned gossip. A real page-turner that will appeal to those far from Notting Hill itself." -- Easy Living (UK)

"Deliciously witty, wickedly funny, and surprisingly touching. She captures the zeitgeist of a society obsessed with having it all with a heady combination of hilarity and heart. The perfect feel-good read." -- Santa Montefiore, author of Last Voyage of the Valentina and The Gypsy Madonna

"Acerbic and well observed . . . with her magpie eye for local detail and a couple of good cracking jokes per page, Notting Hell is snappy, witty, definitely clever, and hugely readable." -- Nicholas Coleridge, The Spectator (UK)

"A tale of the rich behaving badly in one of London's most exclusive enclaves. Notting Hell is delicious fun." -- Karen Quinn, author of The Ivy Chronicles and Wife in the Fast Lane

"A delicious dip into the absurdly competitive world of a brand-new, rather terrifying British tribe -- the Notting Hill nouveau riche." -- Plum Sykes, author of Bergdorf Blondes and The Debutante Divorcee
