Book description

Meet Isabella Smugge as in Br-uge-s, naturally! Instagram influencer, consummate show-off and endearingly self-unaware. With a palatial home, charming husband and three well-mannered children, she is living the Country Life dream. Newly arrived in the country, Isabella is ready to bring a dash of London glamour to the school gate…

Why read it?

1 author picked The Diary of Isabella M Smugge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book is entertaining and very readable, and the theme is highly topical. The characters – somewhat exaggerated – come over quite convincingly.

The story is about Isabella, financed by her hedge-fund banker husband, and her social media postings. Isabella keeps fit, outsources the maintenance of her house, garden, and children, and revels in her success as an influencer. When her children cause problems at school, and other mothers ostracise her, Isabella realises she has no real friends. New problems arise, and childhood scars surface. 

I am keen to find out how Isabella copes in the next books.
