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?

      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.
