A starred review from Kirkus for Plum Sykes’ WIVES LIKE US raves: “Sykes gives Kevin Kwan a run for his money in this saga of obscene wealth, designer outfits, miniature dog breeds, and over-the-top landscaping set in Oxfordshire, a rural area of vast estates now mostly in the hands of the nouveau riche…Crazy Rich Brits may not have the amazing cuisine of their Asian counterparts, but they are just as scheming, fabulous, and fun to read about…you’ll dive in and never look back.” The book was also featured in the UK’s The Times, where Simon Mills writes: “Its publication may still be two months away, but a new novel by Plum Sykes…is already being feverishly discussed…Attempting to do for the Cotswolds what F Scott Fitzgerald did for West Egg and its inspiration, the Hamptons (and what Peter Mayle did for Provence), WIVES LIKE US, set in the super-rich houses of West Oxfordshire, is a bandbox shiny satirette of country living where everyone is unmuddied but filthy rich.” Harper will publish WIVES LIKE US on May 14, 2024.
