Rachel Johnson Livres

L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur... même quand on habite un square privé de Notting Hill, l'adresse la plus branchée, la plus recherchée, la plus snob de Londres. Prenez Clare et Mimi. Elles ont moins de quarante ans, sont mariées, copines, voisines, mènent une existence de rêve. Jusqu'au jour où débarque un milliardaire américain, célibataire, la tentation incarnée. Chassés-croisés amoureux et intrigues immobilières se succèdent alors sur la verte pelouse et ce coin de paradis si cher payé se révèle infernal. Notting Hill ? Notting Hell plutôt ! La tranquillité des beautiful people vole en éclats. Et le lecteur, lui, éclate de rire.Aïe, aïe, aïe, le ver est dans le fruit, les femmes croquent dedans, et nous, on se marre. Isabelle Lortholary, Elle.

'I just loved it. Lethally funny and so clever.' - Jilly CooperI ADORED it. It's the most fun I've had with a book in a long time, and I love how she writes - so many dazzling sentences and phrases.' - Marian KeyesDebt, double-basements, dastardly bankers...and DIVORCE?'Hell is other people' and journalist Mimi Fleming is fast realizing on her return to Notting Hill that there is no greater hell than the W11 neighbours with whom she shares an exclusive communal garden. Since she's been away, all her friends have become - impossibly - even richer, thinner, and YOUNGER. They're busy not just turning back the clock but also their homes into palatial iceberg houses - with basement swimming pools.But Mimi's troubles are just beginning. There's the compromising and risky mission she'd undertaking to re-launch her so-called journalism career (plus an embarrassing case of mistaken identity thanks to Google). Then there's her children who will only communicate via WhatsApp . And worst of all, Mimi's fallen for someone, and it's certainly not her husband Ralph.Ralph and Mimi have already been to Notting Hell and back. But is this the end or the beginning of something new?

Mimi, Ralph and their three children have moved to the Dorset countryside, a place without a world class deli in spitting distance, a place to get away from the awful competitiveness of London life, where no one cares what you wear, there are no politics to speak of, and you can get away from exhaust fumes. Right? Totally wrong!

Exploring the intersection of ideology and film festivals, this study delves into how these events shape perceptions of art cinema and humanist values beyond Hollywood. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the European competitive film festival circuit, examining the economic, geopolitical, and cultural factors at play. Additionally, it scrutinizes the canonization of notable Italian films and introduces a novel approach to ideology critique, addressing broader themes such as gender, race, colonialism, and capitalism within the context of contemporary cinema.

Being a leader is a wonderful privilege but can also come with challenges we don't always feel prepared for. How often do we tie ourselves in knots wondering about the right way to deal with a difficult situation at work? Or wondering why no one ever told us how to manage some of the challenges? This book is for people who need practical ways of tackling the tricky issues in leadership to move forward courageously. From people pleasing to crucial conversations, we look at ten areas that can cause us to be 'stuck' and how we can get ourselves free. Dip into this book when you need some support to inspire, motivate, and equip you in whatever stage of leadership you're at so that you can lead more confidently and freely, and be your best more of the time.
