Description

A novel following on from the immensely popular Notting Hell, which Jilly Cooper called 'shiveringly brilliant' 'Hell is other people', as Jean-Paul Sartre once said, and Mimi is fast realizing on her return to Notting Hill that there is no greater hell than the W11 neighbours she is forced to share an exclusive communal garden with. Back in town after her sojourn in the Shires (as documented in Shire Hell), Fresh Hell is a fast-paced and fabulously funny depiction of feuds, fame and fashion in one of London's most exclusive postcodes.
