Cash-strapped Rosie and her boyfriend Mark are city folk longing for a country cottage. Rampantly nouveaux-riches Samantha and Guy are also searching for rustic bliss – a mansion complete with mile-long drive and hot and cold running gardeners. The village of Eight Mile Bottom seems quiet enough, despite a nosy postman, a reclusive rock star, a glamorous Bond Girl and a ghost with a knife in its back. But there are unexpected thrills in the hills. The local siren seduces Guy while mysterious millionaire makes Rosie an offer she can’t refuse. But should she?

Reviews

Mail on Sunday
A very modern romantic comedy... her cultural references are spot-on... an amusing romp through village life
Mirror
A light-hearted rustic romp
Daily Mail
Praise for Wendy Holden: Pacy pastiche of city dwellers 'gone country'... packed with puns... Holden has produced an entertaining novel, bursting with a large cast of Diblyesque characters, which will no doubt delight fans of her two previous books
B Magazine
On gloomy days, Wendy Holden's novels should be handed round like aspirin. Her new book, Pastures Nouveaux, is guaranteed to bring a smile even to the baddest of moods... The hills are alive with the sound of high jinks in this laugh-a-minute romp'
Sunday Times
Clever, naughty and basically affectionate and good-natured... a comic romp engineered with aplomb and dash... will have fans glued
Eve
A pun-packed romp
Cosmopolitan
A hilariously outrageous romp that takes the gloss off those countryside daydreams
The Times
Writing good comic fiction isn't as easy as it looks but Holden has pulled it off yet again
Marian Keyes
Fantastic fun... witty, high-speed satire, and I've lost count of the number of times I've laughed out loud. Hugely enjoyable
Jilly Cooper
Wendy's writing is brilliant
