Welcome to the rose-strewn county of Oxfordshire and the tony Cotswold villages of Little Bottom, Middle Bottom, Great Bottom and Monkton Bottom, recently annexed by a glittering new breed of female: the Country Princess. Following a ghastly row about a missing suite of diamonds, Tata Hawkins has flounced out of Monkton Bottom Manor with her daughter, Minty, and Executive Butler Ian Palmer in tow, decamping to The Old Coach House to teach her husband, Bryan, a lesson. But things don’t go according to plan: Bryan disappears to Venice with a bikini designer; Selby Fairfax, the glamorous American divorcée who has inherited the beautiful estate next door, is refusing Tata’s overtures of friendship; Tata’s best friends are distracted by their own heartache, and the posh Pennybacker-Hoare sisters are plotting to prevent Tata from regaining her crown as Queen of the Bottoms.
