Back with her third instalment in the Notting Hell series, Fresh Hell,
journalist Rachel Johnson takes aim at NHMs – that’s Notting Hill
Mummies to you and me – and the lives of the UHNWs – Ultra-High Net Worth individuals.
And it’s not all kitchen suppers and Caribbeanholidays, as new troubles brew for the Notting Hill set. From iceberg houses to dangerous liaisons, art installations to fertility scandals, the residents of W11 have to negotiate it all, while keeping up appearances, literally.
Johnson, herself familiar with the Notting Hill scene, brilliantly evokes the lives, obsessions and foibles of the super-rich and is never afraid to playfully lampoon her subjects. Full of humour and parody, the plot’s slightly lacking in intricacy, with a fairly swift transition from crisis to resolution. But it’s all NFNH – normal for Notting Hill, darling.
