Canarino - Katherine Bucknell

Revenge is a dish best served cold.... and at a distance.

The plot focuses on David and Elizabeth, and American couple living in London and apparently enjoying the wealthy lifestyle that comes from David's high flying City career as an investment banker. However, when über control freak Elizabeth discovers that her husband is having affair with a co-worker, she first retreats into self-starvation and then demands that the family moves back to America, finding a beautiful farmhouse in Virginia for David to buy and for her to redecorate and furnish with the best that his money can buy. But her lavish spending spree is only one small part of Elizabeth's revenge...
