Avril is the perfect hostess, managing the Bella Vista guest house with grace and charm. But when her husband Steven decides to run for mayor, Avril is incensed; she sets about undermining his campaign with an instinct for local government as sharp as her talent for domestic politics. When Steven retaliates, the battle lines are drawn!
‘Bella Vista reads like Rats in the Ranks meets Joanna Trollope, being a pithy and sardonic comment on the battle of the sex roles.’
