Reviews
In rural Ringford, England, the smalltown snobbery of the "Mercedes Mums" sets the standard, but two London transplants, Maddy Hoare, a prickly, wealthy housewife, and Izzie Stock, a free-spirited, lovably disorganized freelancer, realize they share a maverick sensibility. When Maddy discovers a recipe for healing balm in an old family journal, what begins as an experiment becomes a lucrative, trend-setting enterprise she and Izzie run together, as women all over England buy Paysage Enchanté. Despite their increasingly public lives, neither Maddy nor Izzie can escape the everyday—Izzie's marriage is struggling, and Maddy, who is newly widowed, must figure out how to handle her affectionate French cousin, Jean Luc. Plus, both women have young children. To add to their troubles, Pru, their PR adviser, insists that they stick to an "earth-mother" image—the polar opposite of their urban style. A warm, genuine friendship—along with a successful cosmetics line—develops in this refreshing debut, a pseudonymous collaboration from Annie Ashworth and Meg Sanders. (May)

For two young mothers from London, adjusting to rural life isn't easy, so Maddy and Izzy band together to survive their new surroundings. After their budding friendship is tested by a tragic event in Maddy's life, they make a discovery that will change their lives. Among Maddy's grandmother's belongings, they find beauty-cream recipes concocted by one of her ancestors. Armed with the recipes and some stinky weeds, Maddy and Izzy soon launch a booming beauty business. But has their newfound wealth and fame come at the expense of their families? Readers will find this a refreshing departure from the single-girl-in-the-city brand of chick lit, which is just what Brits Annie Ashworth and Meg Sanders, the two friends who cowrote this novel under one pseudonym, hoped to achieve by creating married mom characters like themselves. And, indeed, this is a charming novel about the power of friendship and the importance of family. Aleksandra Kostovski
