Piglet is judging the contents of your shopping trolley. She is listening to what you order for lunch and is observing whether the dessert you serve is homemade or snatched from a packet. There isn't another 31-year-old who takes food more seriously. And who could blame her, with a childhood nickname like that?
In just over a fortnight, she is marrying Kit. Kit and his tasteful family present an opportunity for reinvention — when she was growing up in Derby, this life and this man had been beyond her imagination. Together they are the picture of domestic bliss — effortless hosts in their new house and planning an immaculate, covetable wedding. Everything is coming together for Piglet — tied as tightly and perfectly as her apron strings. But if a life looks too good to be true, it probably is.
