Description
Nancy Mitford meets Clueless, with a touch of Agatha Christie, in this tale of cocktails, murder and mayhem in 1980s Oxford
Oxford, 1985. Ursula Flowerbutton, a Fresher and wide-eyed country girl, arrives for her first term at the famous university. What she hasn't bargained on is finding a body. Oh, crumpets.
Who killed the beautiful India Brattenbury? With the help of her fellow fresher, glamorous American Nancy Feingold, Ursula sets off to unravel the mystery. The girls' investigations lead them into a world of black-tie parties and dining societies, sex and secrets. Ursula soon realises that Oxford's not all Pimm's and punting. From broken-hearted boyfriends to snobby Sloanes, lovelorn librarians to dishy dons, none can be presumed innocent.

Bright and funny, Bergdorf Blondes is haute couture chick lit
Candace Bushnell
-
Plum Sykes channels Nancy Mitford and Holly Golightly with great charm and sweetness
Jane Green, author of Mr. Maybe and Jemima J.
-
Sykes has a distinctive, wily and well-deployed comic voice … Into the blender go Bridget Jones, Anita Loos, Sex and the City and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction
Janet Maslin, New York Times
-
Perfectly pitched – playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times
Anna Wintour, Vogue
-
Sparkling, bliss, glitteringly honest … I haven't had so much fun since rereading the Mitford novels

Highly entertaining and intelligent … whips along at an exhilarating speed
